About this listen

Greece, home of the ancient Olympic Games, is a favourite destination for Seven Sights Travel, a seedy company which provides escorted tours for wealthy travellers. When Marcus Didius Falco and Helena hear that a young girl and a newly-wed woman, both Roman visitors, have been murdered at Olympia, they both step in to investigate.©2006 Lindsey Davis (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Critic reviews

"The author's vivid picture of life in A.D. 76 and the sparkling characterizations, particularly the amusing byplay between Falco and Helena, will satisfy most readers." ( Publishers Weekly)
"If Sam Spade traveled back in time to A.D. 76, he'd be Marcus Didius Falco, the Roman sleuth at the center of Davis' mordant series." ( Booklist)

Most relevant

Christian Rodska's voice has developed Falco's personality really well as the novels have followed Falco's life and turning fortunes. It is an utterly convincing characterization of the detective, his talented wife, and in more recent novels: growing family. This novel delves into corruption in the roman travel trade. Lindsey Davis's descriptions of the key locations of Greek tourism: the acropolis, Delphi, and Olympia are startlingly accurate and evocative. Falco's dry, sardonic world view spices up the classic detective format Davis specializes in to create a compelling and entertaining listen. I really enjoyed it.
