For any hardcore Falco fan - like me - this is a must-read ... but maybe not a "keeper". Reading along, I kept being waked up out of that "lost in a book" state with the recurrent thought that "Alexandria" would have benefited by red-penciling by a stern editor. Beyond that, it just wasn't as charming as every other Falco book up to this: more plot-driven than character-driven, with a jarring excess of current British slang. It wasn't even necessary in order to keep up with the life story of Falco et al. A pity, really.
