Özet

Christian Rodska reads this complete, full-length Falco novel, by best-selling author Lindsey Davis.

In the high summer of AD 77, Marcus Didius Falco is beset by personal problems. Newly bereaved and facing unexpected upheavals, it is a relief for him to consider someone else’s misfortunes. A middle-aged couple who supplied statues to his father, Geminus, have disappeared. They had a feud with a bunch of notorious freedmen, the Claudii, who live rough in the pestilential Pontine Marshes, terrorising the neighbourhood.

When a mutilated corpse turns up near Rome, Falco and his vigiles friend Petronius investigate, even though it means travelling in the dread marshes. But just as they are making progress, the Chief Spy, Anacrites, snatches their case away from them. Making further enquiries after they have been warned off can only be dangerous - but when did that stop Falco and Petronius?

Egged on by the slippery bureaucrats who hate Anacrites, the dogged friends dig deeper while a psychotic killer keeps taking more victims, and the shocking truth creeps closer and closer to home....

As a long-standing fan of Davis's Falco novels, I went into this with slight trepidation due to the relatively low customer rating. I was not to be disappointed, however, quite the reverse; this is Davis back to her best.

The plot is darker than before, with death hanging over the plotline from first sentence to last. Back in Rome, Falco is called in to deal with a set of deathly circumstances reaching back over many years. Without spoiling neither plot nor the superb final twist, this novel reaches back to the depths of the very earliest days of Falco's memoirs.

My only potential criticism is that the characters become slightly too entangled. This may be due to my listening when overly sleepy, however, and I am currently half way through for a second time to make sure. I am far less confused, if confused is the right word; the criticim, therefore, should be aimed more at my listening habits than at Davis's complicated structuring.

This is a novel for all die hard Falco fans, none of whom will be disappointed. I would not recommend that a MDF virgin read this first as too many characters introduced over many books (and adventures!) are all drawn together in one dark plot and a certain knowledge of each is required to fully appreciate what occurs, and why!

Having got used to Anton Lesser as BBC’s voice of Falco, a new narrator takes some getting used to. I would have felt the same if Christian Rodska had narrated the first 5 books!

His last outing is a memorable one in a fun thrilling tale of Falco and Co.

A fantastic series - but please can Christian Rodska perform the other books previously performed by other narrators?

Great series

I read the previews for this novel and along with the title; I was expecting a very dark book. I was glad to discover that this book has the same light touch, humour and pathos as Lindsey Davis's previous novels. However, we do discover, through some quite unexpected twist and turns, major revelations regarding some of the established characters.
As always Christian Rodska interprets the novel beautifully, his characterisations are just right!
