Book 10 of the Libertus mysteries by Rosemary Rowe, Death at Pompeia's Wedding, is scheduled to be released August 1 in the U.S.
Product Description
This is the tenth book in the "Libertus
Mystery of Roman Britain" series. Libertus attends a society wedding as
his patron's representative, but before the ceremony can begin the
father of the bride is discovered dead – poisoned – after testing the
wedding wine. Pompeia, the bride, hysterically declares that she has
caused the death, but Libertus believes otherwise, and is retained by
the potential bridegroom (who needs the substantial dowry) to prove her
innocent. His investigations uncover hidden tensions in the house and
when another guest, Antoninus, is discovered a little later murdered at
his home, moments before Libertus was due to call on him, events take a
different and more sinister turn.
