Seventh in the SPQR Series February 28, 2007
J. Chippindale (England)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
John Maddox Roberts is the pseudonym of Mark Ramsay, author of numerous works of science fiction and fantasy, in addition to his successful historical SPQR mystery series. He lives in New Mexico with his wife.
This is the seventh book in the SPQR series of books about Ancient Rome in the late Republican era. They all feature Decius Caecilius Metellus the Younger as a solver of mysteries. All of the books have been consistently good and I had no reason to doubt that this book would be the same. I certainly was not disappointed. The author always manages to come up with a different slant to the story that usually includes some of the more famous people who were about at that period of Rome's history.
This book features a curse as its theme. Something that should always be taken seriously in Ancient Rome. Magic and sacred rites were prevalent in Roman society at the time and a curse would have been taken very seriously.

Having read every one of John Maddox Roberts' SPQR series, I had the fullest confidence that I would enjoy "Tribune's Curse" immensely, and I did. Like author Steven Saylor, Roberts does a superb job of setting a gripping detective story in late Republican Rome. Each book brings different facets of the political and social history of this fascinating period into vivid reality, as seen through the eyes of a tough but amiable Roman patrician moving his way up the political ladder.
