29. Last Act in Palmyra by Lindsey Davis
Falco and Helena are sent to the Nabatean desert on a fact-finding mission for Vespasian (this lasts not quite a day as they get thrown out of Petra) and to find a missing musician. Before they manage to get evicted from Petra, they come across the freshly murdered corpse of a playwright, and join the troupe of actors in his place to find the killer.
It's Falco - funny, not at all challenging, but with a half decent mystery.
