Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
It’s A.D. 76 during the reign of Vespasian, and Marcus Didius Falco, a Roman “informer,” has achieved much in his life. He’s joined the equestrian rank, allowing him to marry Helena Justina, the Senator’s beloved daughter. But now he’s just been hired to undergo a dangerous mission: to pry his brother-in-law Aulus, a scholar on the way to study in Athens, away from a murder investigation involving two dead women at the ancient site of the Olympic Games. Traveling to Greece under the guise of being tourists, Falco and Helena visit the country’s classic sites in order to investigate the suspicious goings-on and shady dealings of Seven Sights, a fly-by-night travel agency. What begins as a risky expedition becomes sinister when Aulus, too, goes missing in what becomes Falco’s most complex and high-stakes case yet.

Another thumbs up for Davis, the Marcus Didius misteries get better every time, this one is no exception. Mistery lovers should read them all!!

For a good travelogue of Greece in the Roman era, this would be fine, as a novel--it's tedious. There's little mystery, hardly any menace, the wit is too caustic and nasty to be funny, and the characters seem lifeless.
I was bored throughout. Better luck subsequent time.
Rated by buyers -
Davis had Falco and company head to Greece to solve a murder. A well woven story with a lot of of wit.
Rated by buyers -
Falco and Helena travel to Greece to solve mysterious deaths, and more happen all around them. With the help of their family and many blue herrings the truth is finally told. I am eagerly awaiting the subsequent installment even though I would have liked to have seen an afterword to this one.
Rated by buyers -
Lindsey Davis never fails to provide a fun read. Though the family members traveling with Marcus and Helena to Greece offered little of what we have learned to expect from their relatives in the way of extra heartburn for Falco, the spot-on observations about tourist groups and travel were great. I completely enjoyed "See Delphi and Die".
