The Vellum Scribe
These books just keep getting better! And that’s saying a lot since I love each one.

If I had to put stars for this book, I have had to put 6 stars.


The Roman Heir
What an amazing story again!!!!! ... another awesome tale of a historic time, I do not want to give the story away, but murder and mystery always needs someone to solve it, Great Job to Argo for his aptitude for it.

The Roman Heir
WOW! Fast, fun, and filled with so much new information re an historical period usually unknown.

The Peach Widow 
Delicious Time Travel Makes Me Want More
 The mystery works and is plausible so it’s a triple (maybe more) bonus we get – time travel, history lesson and intrigue.

The Used Virgin 
 Leaves you wanting more! 
There are several things that go into the making of a good period thriller: the invocation of its surroundings, the realization of the setting, characterization that creates distinct voices in one's mind and, of course, a plot line that makes sense and creates the necessary sense of wonder that keeps the reader, reading.

The Used Virgin
If you're into mysteries in a historical setting, this book and series is for you! Very descriptive and entertaining, it gives you the feel of a time long passed as a mystery unfolds. Ms. Altair does an excellent job of putting us into southern Italy at the time of the Ostrogoth rule. This series would make an excellent show! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series - definitely intriguing and fascinating.
