What They're Saying
Critics Review
This is the sixteenth Falco novel, and they have built up a large following. It is not hard to see why. They are amiable and unpretentious…The research that has gone into them allows the externals of Roman life to be presented in an evocative way. Yet the interior life of the characters remains reassuringly modern…Philip Marlowe in a toga. * Times Literary Supplement *
…an entertaining mystery * Sunday Telegraph *

Her books are translated and have been dramatized on BBC Radio 4.
