Flavia Albia Books In Order
Falco’s adopted daughter Flavia Albia follows in his footsteps becoming an investigator and “informer” in Ancient Rome in Lindsey Davis’ second mystery series set in the Roman Empire.
The Flavia Alba series begins in 89 AD and a new emperor reigns. Gone is the shrewd and capable Vespasian and now his paranoid son Domitian rules. Flavia, like her father, has an acerbic wit and she is surrounded by colourful supporting characters.
As with the Falco series, readers enjoy the meticulous historical detail and clever, entertaining plots that Lindsey Davis brings to her stories but the series has a more dramatic tone than its predecessor.
Although reading the books in order will give you a better understanding of Flavia’s personal relationships, the books can be enjoyed as standalone stories. And although Flavia is introduced in the Falco series, she doesn’t become a sleuth on her own until she’s in her own series.
