2021/011: Hide Me Among the Graves -- Tim Powers
“My patron,” said Trelawny, “would like to do again what she did in A.D. 60.” [p. 262]

On paper (ha, or on Kindle) this should have been a novel I adored: Pre-Raphaelites, vampires, Boadicea (sic), subterranean London ... But somehow it didn't click. This might be a case of right book, wrong time: it might be that Hide Me Among the Graves is a (more or less standalone) sequel to The Stress of Her Regard, of which I recall little other than disliking it. minor spoilers )
