JUVENALIA The Valerius Mysteries, Book 2

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Vikas Adam

Mystery & Suspense • 9.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Vikas Adam narrates this second book in the Valerius Mysteries series, which is set in ancient Rome and features investigator Aemilius Valerius. As playwrights, poets, and artists prepare for Nero's birthday celebration, a poet is attacked, and Valerius must solve the case. Concurrently, a bloodless corpse is found, and Junius Atreus must find the murderer. The two friends work together amid other deaths and attacks to identify the perpetrators. Adam has an amazing talent for finding different voices for the many male and female characters. House servants are timid, emperors are haughty, and bodyguards are deep-voiced and solemn. Most amazing is his prowess at making modern colloquialisms sound perfectly natural in this ancient setting. L.M.G.
