Format:Paperback
I think this one is superb. It most closely followed the traditional ideal of the whodunnit, keeping the reader in the dark with only the slenderest of hints right up to the end. I find Davis's admittedly anachronistic Raymond Chandleresque style witty and lively, and unusually not detracting from the historical content. Her knowledge of ancient Rome really is first rate.

I re read the Falco books every year or so and so have had to replace worn out paper backs. Lively happy books with lots of accurate Roman detail & happy family basis, characters who grow with the series, this story has lots of interest concerning Rome itself. A comfortable way to learn Roman History

For years i overlooked this series of books, fearing that they would be boring. How wrong can you be? This amazing authof makes ancient Rome seem alive again! You can feel it and smell it as you read this series of books. At times, the descriptions make you laugh out loud and, as you get to know the main characters, you feel for them more and more. Amazing writing ~ and an amazing series of book.
do yourself a favour and buy the series if you haxen't already done so!

A very enjoyable book!
Good fun for a quiet night in but a little bit too predictable. I knew who the assassin was way before they even started to suspect of him. Still good.
