Advantages: A brilliant read Disadvantages: It may help to have read the previous novel, but it isn't essential.
Venus in Copper is the third of Lindsey Davis's successful Falco novels, who-dunnits set in Ancient Rome. It opens with the hero in prison after offending Rome's chief spy, the repercussions of which are felt for several novels to come. In many of the novels in the series we see Falco dispatched to distant lands of the Empire, working for the Emperor or other political high flyers. However 'Venus in Copper' sees our hero doing what he started out ... ...the historic detail is there throughout, but not rammed down your throat as some authors do. The more I read of the Falco novels the more I like them, and anyone who likes murder mysteries should try them. Venus in Copper is one of the best. Read it. ...
