I’m always fascinated and intrigued with stories featuring the Roman catacombs. This has a great setup and plot however it was bogged down with over describing everything. Literally, ever characters life history, the history every building, street, etc. that was mentioned in the story. Too much description and not enough action for an Executioner novel.
