Shadows of Athens | 
pickPhilocles is a Greek playwright who stumbles over a body outside his home in Athens. He then gets caught up in a political conspiracy, while also trying to ensure that the play he‘s been working does well at the Dionysus festival.
This is a great mystery set in Ancient Greece, with a nice sense of time and place. The obvious research doesn‘t stand out, but informs the characters and plot. I will be definitely reading the next one.
