Helpful Score: 3

A great start to a mystery series set in ancient Rome, with one of the funniest "heroes" written. Although it can sound, at times, a bit anachronistic, it is never jarring. Reminds me a bit of the syle of writing used in the book I, Claudius. It's as though Falco, the protagonist, was telling the story in modern language. Good period details and a complex plot with interesting characters. I've already started on the second of the series and will problably work my way through them all!
