About this listen

 From renowned author Lindsey Davis, creator of the much-loved character, Marcus Didius Falco and his friends and family, comes the second novel in her all-new series set in Ancient Rome.

We first met Flavia Albia, Falco's feisty adopted daughter, in The Ides of April. Albia is a remarkable woman in what is very much a man's world: young, widowed and fiercely independent, she lives alone on the Aventine Hill in Rome and makes a good living as a hired investigator. An outsider in more ways than one, Albia has unique insight into life in ancient Rome, and she puts it to good use going places no man could go, and asking questions no man could ask.

Even as the dust settles from her last case, Albia finds herself once again drawn into a web of lies and intrigue. Two mysterious deaths at a local villa may be murder and, as the household slaves are implicated, Albia is once again forced to involve herself. Her fight is not just for truth and justice, however; this time, she's also battling for the very lives of people who can't fight for themselves.

Enemies at Home presents Ancient Rome as only Lindsey Davis can, offering wit, intrigue, action and the further adventures of a brilliant new heroine who promises to be as celebrated as Marcus Didius Falco and Helena Justina, her fictional predecessors.

The story is better than book 1, and got better throughout! Thoroughly enjoyable. Cant wait to read the next one! A gentler feel than the Falco series but I like that.

Much better!

Good story revolving around of the live of Raman's slaves, I still don't believe the voice is quite right, especially for a 1st person narrative.

I loved this second in the series. The narration is so clear and all the characters portrayed well. A pacy plot which kept me intrigued till the end. Looking forward to the next book.

Brilliant!

The second in this series convinced me that I will enjoy it as much as I did Falco’s. It’s a great story, with strong characters and suspense that kept the pages turning!

A gripping story

Quite a sad tale about the harsh aspects of slavery in everyday roman life. This is one story where Flavia Albia is not always speaking with a modern voice - she accepts slavery. Overall a good whodunnit. The gentle romance develops in a pleasing way and is nearly a match for the Falco/Helena story which is honestly one of my favourite love stories in any book. Fairly good narration for most of the characters and very clear to follow.

Sad tale but good ending
