[books 2012] Falco
4. The Jupiter Myth by Lindsey Davis
A random later one of the Falco detective novels (set in the Roman empire). I've read the first, and listened to the dramatisations of the 2nd and 3rd on Radio 4 and frankly, anything that's this level of chewing gum for the mind that needs to be read in order can bite me.
The dramatisations had really got me excited about reading more of the books, but this was a bit of a disappointment. It was reasonably amusing (Falco, the metropolitan Roman stuck on the fringes of the empire in Londinium) but I figured out who the chief bad guy was long before Falco did. I'm not very bright - I never do that, so it was really obvious.
