Description

Sensible women don't investigate murders, but Livia Aemilia might not have a choice.

Rome, 47 AD. When Livia's father dies under suspicious circumstances, she sets out to find the killer before her innocent brother is convicted of murder. She may be an amateur when it comes to hunting dangerous criminals, but she's determined, intelligent, and not afraid to break a convention or two in pursuit of the truth. Plus, she's adopted a radical new faith that encourages her to believe a woman and a handful of servants can actually solve a murder.

Can she uncover the culprit before powerful men realize what she's up to and force her to stop? Or will her snooping land her in deadly peril?

A lighthearted historical mystery set in first-century Rome, featuring a feisty amateur sleuth, a cast of eccentric characters, and an unrepentant, sausage-snatching cat.

Reviews

Who knew that a first-century Roman whodunit could be so magnetic? The intrigue, suspense and riotous host of characters beguiled me. The courage displayed by a young Christian woman living in a world so hostile to her growing faith kept me hooked! Death and a Crocodile is master story-telling!--Matthew Carter, Pastor of Shepherding Ministries, Brick Lane Community Church
