If you have a taste for a witty, ancient whodunit with a side of romantic escapades, "Ovid" could be your escape to Rome's first-century streets. Imagine sidestepping the emperor's ire while wrestling with personal desires—a recipe for an enthralling read. Marcus Corvinus's character, with his flair for trouble and tenacity, turns the retrieval of ashes into an adventure you won't want to put down.
