Roman informer Marcus Didius Falco’s latest investigation keeps him close to home since it revolves around secrets that his soldier brother, Festus, might have been hiding on his last visit to Rome before his death. Falco teams up with is estranged father, Geminus, to search for the truth. Helena Justina once again provides loyal support. Davis gives a new twist to the wise-cracking private eye novel by setting the series in ancient Rome, and by the fifth book in the series I think she’s found a balance that will appeal to fans of either mystery subgenre. ( ) An excellent entry in this series featuring Marcus Didius Falco. We meet his father, finally, and learn about him and about Marcus's brother Festus, late of the Judean wars and not always the golden-haired boy everyone seems to think he was. The plot is complex but comprehensible, involving imports from Greece, the terrors of slavery, and with a few delightful twists at the end. Quinta de Falco y Helena aquà introduce como nuevo personaje a su padre que antes estaba sugerido. ligera entretenida por la descripción de la vida diaria en Roma que parece acertada.

El oro de Poseidón no defraudará a los lectores más exigentes, es quizá la novela histórica más divertida jamás escrita. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
