Venus In Copper Audiobook

" An early, entertaining Falco novel. Do check out at least the first few books in this series, they are quite entertaining. "

" This series just gets better and better. Falco is hired by a family of freed slaves who thinks one of their members is being taken in by a gold digger who has a penchant for murdering her rich husbands. As usual, as Falco delves into his task, he finds much than meets the eye. Less than scrupulous landlords play center stage, and Helena finally makes an important decision regarding her relationship with Falco. I couldn't put this one down! "

" I've learned you can rely on Lindsey Davis for an entertaining and informative read, and this series never seems to disappoint. This is the third of the Falco historical mystery series; Falco is an "informer" for the Emperor in first century Rome. This one deals with the activities of a "black widow" gold digger, and is particularly instructive on class issues and tensions in that culture, and the options and social status of freedmen who were once slaves. "

" A fun read - really all of his books are. Love they are set in the Roman times but still have such current themes. "

" Another intriguing tale of Ancient Rome with Marcus Didius Falco, an informer who follows the trail of a professional bride and some unscrupulous landlords. As usual Falco finds himself in trouble plenty before he solves the various riddles and ties up loose ends. A great read! "

" What a good one. The turbot, the house moving and house losing. It's one of my favorites. "

" Murder, Revenge, Corruption, Back-stabbing. Otherwise just another happy Roman family seeking the services of a PI. Who knows what that's for? "

" Another fun Marcus Didius Falco book. "

" The one with the professional bride, the dodgy landlord and the copper ring "

" This is getting back to the traditional "Who Dunnit?" like Silver Pigs. Davis blends mystery with those family moments of Falco's extremely well. The Turbo party was great. "

" Falco always makes me laugh, a complex mystery with a satisfying ending. "

" I am enjoying these dramatizations of the Lindsey Davis series. They bring the time period to life with great acting and sound effects. I think I would have enjoyed the great age of radio dramas. "

" Love the feisty & strong female lead in Helena, compliments the "rough diamond" that is Falco. "

" Another book I am 'reading' though audio books. The first few Lindsay Davis Falcos are dramatised I believe for the radio, it certainly adds something to the enjoyment. Please try them they really bring the characters to life. "

" Fun little mystery. I like her writing very much. I normally don't care for anachronisms in my historical fiction, but Davis is so subtle that it's completely inoffensive. Like an offhand comment from Falco about the unsuitability of a Gallic slave for work as a chef. "

" This one is the best so far (of the 5 I've read)- but maybe that's because I found it the most romantic. "

" I love ancient detective Falco! He's a lovable character who always gets the job done while getting into all sorts of fixes. "

" Like Davis' other books, you read this more for Falco than for the plot...however, this book was probably the most tightly plotted of the Falco books so far (probably because Falco didn't go wandering all over the Empire this time). "

" As usual, Davis does it again in her almost modern conversational writing with a tale set during the early AD period. She leaves no Roman detail unturned in her historical whodunnit, and she's written such amazing characters! I am actually sad I finished! "

" I am enjoying these dramatizations of the Lindsey Davis series. They bring the time period to life with great acting and sound effects. I think I would have enjoyed the great age of radio dramas. "

" Fun mystery. Davis' series is a bit like mind candy. "

" La ambientación está lograda y el tono es ameno, pero la trama policiaca es más previsible que una aventura de los tres investigadores. "
