About this listen

 In Roman times, the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World held a deep fascination. Two of them were in Egypt: the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Lighthouse at Alexandria. Marcus Didius Falco's wife, Helena Justina, is determined to see them before her next confinement.

Conveniently, he has an uncle with a house in Alexandria. For this innocent reason (he says) they sail to Egypt. As soon as they arrive in Alexandria, a suspicious death occurs at the famous Great Library. The authorities rapidly hand Falco the investigation; he is, after all, the well-known informer from Rome and the Emperor Vespasian's fixer. He was one of the last to see the victim alive and, should the investigation fail, it is he who'll get the blame...

Almost there is bittersweet

Another great story in this wonderful series. Thoroughly enjoyed this tale which, being the penultimate in the series, is bittersweet. I'm not looking forward to reaching the end but the silver lining is that I'll soon be able to start Lindsay's new series beginning with The Ides of April
