Dando-Collins is a historian, and this is his first fictional book. The concept, of a Roman questor who is tasked with disproving the rumors that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead, is interesting, and since he knows his historical facts, the backdrop of the novel is very detailed and realistic. But it sort of fell flat for me towards the end. It's like Dando-Collins put all this work into it, then couldn't figure out how to end a story about investigating the death of Jesus.
