Review title: Good, but not much of a mystery novel
Product review: Catalina's Riddle is my favorite of the three Steven Saylor mysteries I've read so far, yet the mystery content seems almost tacked-on. There are some fascinating insights into Roman agrarian and political life, including some information I'd never heard of before. Saylor really makes you think about the opposing characters of Cicero and Catalina, and at times it's difficult to reconcile their characters with what classicists and history have to say about them. If Saylor had sold this as a simple historical novel, I'd have given it a 10, but as it's supposed to be a mystery, it loses a few points. Definitely recommended to those who are interested in Ancient Rome
