Seemingly, when he committed suicide by falling from a tenement window, young Sextus Papinus had everything to live for. So did he jump after all, or was he pushed? And if the second, whodunnit, and why? Corvinus finds his investigations hampered by a spot of compulsory dog-minding, and the fact that the dog in question is a hound from Hell with a zero score in the social graces doesn't help matters at all...The eleventh book in the Marcus Corvinus series.
An entertaining ancient Rome mystery. One of Wishart's better ones. The characters are humorous, the plot had twists, and the story goes by quickly. Once you get used to the main character's use of slang and curses, it's fun.
