Last Act In Palmyra
Last Act In Palmyra: (Falco 6) | Lindsey Davis
1 post | 5 read
One of the stories from the bestselling historical fiction Falco series. The spirit of adventure callls Marcus Didius Falco on a new spying mission for the Emperor Vespasian to the untamed East. He's picking up extra fees from his old friend Thalia the snake dancer as he searches for Sophrona, her lost water organist. With the Chief Spy Anacrites paying his fare, Falco knows anything can go wrong. A dangerous brush with the Brother, the sinister ruler of Nabataean Petra, sends Falco and his girlfriend Helena on a fast camel-ride to Syria. They join a traveling theatre group, which keeps losing members in non-accidental drownings. The bad acting and poor audiences are almost as bad as the desert and its scorpions - then as the killer hovers, Falco tries to write a play...

The audiobook is really good, but I must say sometimes the wise guy voice of Falco is too much of a 20th century hard boil noire detective which to me undermines the historical setting of the Roman Empire. Still enjoyable but I don‘t think I could read the whole series
