Shadows of Athens | JM Alvey

1 post | 1 read

443 BC, and, after decades of war with Persia, peace has finally come to Athens. The city is being rebuilt, and commerce and culture are flourishing. Aspiring playwright Philocles has come home to find a man with his throat cut slumped against his front gate. Is it just a robbery gone wrong? But, if so, why didn't the thieves take the dead man's valuables? With the play that could make his name just days away, he must find out who this man is, why he has been murdered - and why the corpse was left in his doorway. But Philocles soon realises he has been caught up in something far bigger, and there are those who don't want him looking any further . . .

Shadows of Athens | JM Alvey

pick

Philocles is a Greek playwright who stumbles over a body outside his home in Athens. He then gets caught up in a political conspiracy, while also trying to ensure that the play he‘s been working does well at the Dionysus festival.

This is a great mystery set in Ancient Greece, with a nice sense of time and place. The obvious research doesn‘t stand out, but informs the characters and plot. I will be definitely reading the next one.
