Setting: 1st century Rome, under the reign of Vespasian (in the Falco books) and Domitian (in the books about Falco’s daughter, Flavia)ĭavis’ sly, immersive mysteries are a delightful look at urban Roman life-and there are a lot of them. Marcus Didius Falco and Flavia Albia series by Lindsey Davis To that end, here are some of my favorite long-running series of historical mysteries that would make excellent escapes any time, but especially this summer. For me, that means fluffy romances, absorbing fantasies that aren’t too dark and any mystery solved by a lady in a ballgown or a nice man in a good suit (preferably both at the same time, while they flirt with each other). I don’t know about you, but at the moment my reading has trended decidedly toward the escapist end of the scale.
