Nemesis Audiobook

" This is her last Falco book. Sigh! "

" One of my favorite book series. Marcus Didius Falco is an investigator (sort of a classical Sam Spade) in ancient Rome. Well-researched, Falco's investigations give a slice-of-life realism, that takes you from the mightiest emperor to the lowliest slave. In this book, he offs his arch-enemy, the cheif spy Anicrites, who has tried to return the favor in many previous books. "

" I think that this is one of her best - loved it! "

" I've read many, but not all, of the Falco novels. In general I find Gordianus (Steven Saylor) to be more true to the ethos of the roman period, but Falco is a lot of fun. That said, some of Davis' novels are more successful than others, and this is one of the best of them. Lots of good meta-plot development with Falco's family, as well as a rather intriguing mystery involving the Pontine marshes and some of his old sparring partners. One of the best in the series, and certainly one of the better recent ones. "

" Davis shines "

" Wow--a really dark ending which throws the future of Marcus and his family into shadow. The next book should be interesting. "

" Hmmm- well this was heading for a 3 until the end. It's really a 3.5. For die-hard fans only really. Usual shenanigans in Rome and nearby, engaging characters, nasty criminals, dramatic start and a final twist. "

" Just finished and looked back and was amazed at how many of these I've read. i really like the author's writing rhythm and the way the characters seem almost real. "

" I've been a long-time fan of this mystery series set in Imperial Rome, but I hadn't read one in years. It was so nice to catch us with Falco and Petro and company, though this one lacked the sparkle of earlier novels. "

" This series is always good, but this one stands out. "

" Yes, this is better than some of the more recent ones - enjoyed it a lot "

" Wow. This is both a classic Falco novel and a new departure from the series. It was darker than any other Falco novel, but still had the lighthearted dialogue and relationships that keep the book fresh. The only downside is having to wait for the next one to come out! "

" One of the better Falco books - exciting, keeps your interest throughout with a hellish WTF moment at the end. "

" This was a pretty good episode in the series about Ancient Roman sleuth Marcus Didius Falco, concerning some unsavory relatives of his arch-enemy, the chief spy Anacritis. I enjoy the series and look for new audio books in the library. "

" The anachronisms bothered me- like saying that the insects carried diseases. They didn't know that in Roman times. Made me wonder what else is historically inaccurate. Otherwise good book. "

" There have been better Marcus Didius Falco books, but having been in those "swamplands" southwest of Rome, I did feel the atmosphere a little more than normal! "

" Enjoying the latest in the Falco series. "

" I had been a little disappointed with the previous two Falco mysteries but Nemesis has the qualities of the best Falco mysteries. "

" I enjoyed meeting again the whole Falco family. This book ties in a lot of threads in the ongoing family saga, but starts new ones at the same time. I am hoping there will be a #21 soon. "

" I think she may be getting close to wrapping up the series. "

" You can never get away from family...this volume touches on fathers and families... "

" Another great one in the Falco series. Her twentieth...and one of the best. "
