"I haven't read historical fiction this good since I, CLAUDIUS by Robert Graves and PERSIAN BOY by Mary Renault--and this is a lot funnier."

And at these wages, his heart is all he can afford to render unto her--which causes its own problems.

The second in Davis' Marcus Falco mystery series, this is every bit as good as the first. Falco is one of the most appealing "detectives" to come along in a long time. Although the plot is complex, the characters are well defined enough to make the action easy to follow. At times the writing appears anachronistic, but never in a jarring or annoying way. It's an easy read with a very sweet romance as a subplot.
I particularly like the fact that the book contains a list of the characters at the front (and there is even quite a bit of humor there!) as well as maps in the back of the book.
