About this listen

Rome is in chaos. The empire of a mobster chief is falling apart following his death. Rivals, fearsome relatives and associates are taking up position to vie for the spoils.

With hideous murders in the streets of Rome, a lone female traveller arrives with an agenda of her own. But when her corpse is dragged out of the river bearing signs of foul play, Flavia Albia is drawn in, concerned about her fellow Briton's fate.

Albia's quest to find the killer becomes deeply personal when she discovers a man at the centre of the plot is an old adversary of hers. Will she be obsessed by revenge? Can she let the past go, or will it consume her?

loved this storey linking Albia's past,with her father, and the present. Filled with details as usual, the story comes to life and gives a wonderful dangerous picture of the past in Rome.

This is another excellent story from Lindsey Davis. This is the 12 (Flavia Albia) book and they just get better and better. The plot is wonderful and the characters are all feel like old friends. The narration is perfect

Again Lindsey Davis produced a gripping story brought to life by Jane Collingwood's narration, so thank you and cannot wait to listen to the next book.

I really enjoy Jane Collingwood narrating the Flavia Albia books. This book brought back Falco and Petronius, Maya and the annoying Milvia. It is lovely to see how their lives progress.
This was probably my favourite of all the Flavia Albia series.

A joining of the two series of books.

The characters became more real as the book progressed. The narrator was easy and clear to listen to

Tha annual treat of this series never disappoints. Old friends and continuing enmities. Twists in the tale. Dry humour. Well narrated.

A great listen. This novel will resonate for readers of the Falco series and the way potent villains are always a threat, though they may not always appear. In this Flavia Albia outing, Albia is more concerned with justice for a murdered woman than any historical revenge for herself, if revenge is what it might be called. For me this made the novel more interesting and Flavia Albia touchingly seeks to deal with the death of a wife. Whilst Flavia Albia continues to show some impetuosity and single mindedness, we do see more maturity too. Lindsey Davis deals well with setting out the plot and sees her deploying a middle aged Falco and Petro to support her enquiries in its dangerous phases. The ending of the novel is surprising in its creativity and the open prospect of what might follow in further novels in the series. I know that Lindsey Davis likes to write at a certain length, and only occasionally did I regret that. The performance of the audio-book is clear, easy to follow and with good variation tone and inflection, though somewhat limited in male voice characterisation. I look forward to the publication of the next instalment.

Interesting Roman details, but the focus on gangsters and organised crime makes this (for me) less interesting than some of Davis’s other books A lot of rather casual brutality.

Dark and harsh

Disappointing, too much stupid vigiles banter. Not up to usual excellent standard this time. I had to give up on it.

Long winded and rambling.
