A friend (we met online at a Twitter Party, officially in Sussex, England) recommended Lindsey Davis's Falco books. Falco is a private eye/investigator...in first century Rome. I've only read the first book, which is Silver Pigs, but I gather it's the first of about 20.
Silver Pigs follows Falco from Rome to the mines of Britain (with a brief look at Bath-To-Be) and back to Rome under Vespasian. Told in first person, our private eye has a wry sense of humor, an extended family, and a sixth-floor walkup over a laundry. Wonderfully vivid detail and delightful characters and a mystery to solve that you care about.
Must obtain the next book soonest.
Highly recommended historical mystery.
