See Delphi and Die: A Marcus Didius Falco Mystery Audiobook

" Neat. Nice turns and twists. Rewarding read. "

" Since this book focused on ancient Greece, I was doubly pleased. "

" Another great Roman crime novel, great fun. "

" As always, I like the Roman-era setting but found the plot a little predictable. Falco's interminable bad temper gets tiresome as well. "

" I love the characters and I love the tours. What's not to love? "

" One of my favourite Falco novels. "

" c2005: FWFTB: tourists, Olympic, sanctuary, tour-guide, myth. I found it interesting that two out of the three reviews quoted on the back of the book mentions 'old friends' which of course is what I have been rabbiting on about in previous 'thoughts'. This outing explores the 'Roman tourist' and Ms Davis does her normal magic and weaves the murder between historical facts and character development. Loved it - especially the involvement of the younger of the Falco extended clan. Oh and Nux, bless her. "At the girl's approach, both Gaius and Cornelius behaved like Aventine lads. They assumed she was after their bodies, so they rushed from the scene. "

" This was a good Falco mystery, but not as much fun as some of the early books. There was a road trip--to Greece--which is always fun. I felt like this plot line rambled a little. The information about Greece was very interesting, as is always true with these books. "

" A weird mix of ancient Rome and Greece settings liberally sprinkled with anachronistic details pseudo-retrograded from modern times. Ending is dragged out with boring dithering long after the solution is obvious. Sloppy writing and editing. "

" Wow. What and ending! Marcus and Helena travel through Greece tracking down a multiple? murderer. Now, I have to read the next one to know how they get home. "

" Good mystery, set in 1st century Greece. "

" Even though I'm getting better at spotting the plot twists before they happen, I really enjoy Lindsey Davis' writing, and Marcus Didius Falco is my kinda character :) "

" Any book where the author shares my jaundiced view of tour packagers (well, some tour packagers: there's one British outfit that does it well) gets my vote. There is a whimsical quality, a sort of reflection of modern conditions--or are these eternal verities? I have MET Volcasius! "

" I always enjoy the tales of Falco and Helena. It was fun to follow Roman tourists in Greece and the humor was good. But the mystery seemed a little thin--not enough to sustain the book. "

" I liked it. Enjoyed Falco's quips and how he views the Greeks. Though, I did not fine the suspense over who was the killer like I had in previous books. Though, I did like the ending! "

" Another great mystery! Very fun. "

" I usually like the Didius Falco books, but wasn't too impressed with this one. The mystery wasn't that impressive, the "shock" at the end was way too telegraphed, and the amount of time spent talking about the wonders of the Greek world was a little over the top. Meh. "

" Disappointing, weak plot nowhere near as good as her other Falco stories "

" As usual, Davis has produced a wonderful read. I enjoyed the clues given as well as the twists of the story. The characters, both the ongoing ones as well as the new ones for each book, are a joy. "

" Another good story from the Falco series. Although Falco is a 1st Century Roman Informer/Investigator, and the books deal with crime, I think they should also be classed as humour. I have lost count of the number of times I have laughed as Falco gets into these situations. "

" Since this book focused on ancient Greece, I was doubly pleased. "

" The one in Greece, with the tour company, the wrong date and the Very Tragic Ending (could well be my favourite of the lot). "

" A very good mystery and a wonderful guide to ancient Greece. I should have seen the ending but it was a surprise nonetheless. "

" I usually like the Didius Falco books, but wasn't too impressed with this one. The mystery wasn't that impressive, the "shock" at the end was way too telegraphed, and the amount of time spent talking about the wonders of the Greek world was a little over the top. Meh. "

" I really enjoyed this one! "

" This was a good mystery with a mix of humor and history as Falco, his wife Helena, and various family members go to Athens, Olympia and Delphi, Greece. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Saturnalia. "

" As always, I like the Roman-era setting but found the plot a little predictable. Falco's interminable bad temper gets tiresome as well. "
