The Ides of April is a historical mystery masterpiece in my opinion. It was incredibly interesting and intricate, and I had no idea what was going on.
The second book in Davis' Flavia Albia series, Enemies at Home, contains lots of obviously well-researched details about all kinds of people in the city of Rome during the time of Domitian. The main character has to interview and interact with several different folks - slaves, upper middle class matrons, vigiles, and an aedile - to solve a double murder. The descriptions of the city itself are also lots of fun. While it is good entertainment, there are a few clunky spots, but enjoyable overall.
