Description
The latest adventure for the Roman sleuth and glamorous heroine of ""I, Claudia Busy, busy, busy . . . A house full of actors, Saturnalia coming up, the Guilds to outmanoeuvre, creditors on her back and, ahem, a slight cash-flow problem to deal with; a mother-in-law straining her nerves to breaking point and a certain security policeman, well, disturbing her senses . . . and Claudia doesn't even know about the murderer lurking in her house. Nevertheless, self-interest and a certain weakness show more for her aristocratic policeman lure her into lending some unasked-for help to his investigation into the Saturnalia Rapist, a mysterious and brutal figure terrorising Rome at this most festive season. Will she manage to unmask him, or will she just get herself into a whole lot of trouble? show lessTags

In the run up to Saturnalia, a rapist is on the loose in Rome attacking women, raping them and humiliating them. Is he a copycat or was the wrong man caught by Orbilio and executed earlier in the year? In the meantime, Claudia's insurance fraud is catching up with her and she needs money fast. Is sponsoring and providing houseroom for a troupe of actors a way out?
I thought Claudia and Orbilio had reached some sort of understanding of each other in the previous book, but it appears not. We're back to the banter again. Not that I'm complaining, mind -- it is good quality banter.
