About this listen
Ten years after the eruption of Vesuvius, the surrounding countryside lies buried and barren. But the destroyed cities and luxury villas on the Bay of Naples are not utterly lost.
Flavia Albia and her husband Tiberius Manlius are tasked with restoring one villa and identifying any surviving remains.
What they unearth is beyond disturbing. When the volcano erupted some people were left to their fate here, unable to escape. They included the previous owner, Publius Primus--laid out carefully and covered by falling ash.
Was Primus murdered? And, if so, why? Can Flavia Albia solve the mystery?
There Will Be Bodies looks beyond the well-known tragic events to what must have happened afterwards. It is the most intriguing crime novel of Lindsey Davis's long and celebrated career.

Fabulous
Holidays with Flavia and Tiberius are particularly entertaining, along the way on this adventure we are quietly probed on past accidents, characters, locations, murders, among the entire series which include (deep breath, long sigh) some of Falco's and Tiberius hiccups :-)))
A brilliant collection of words, thank you Lindsey Davis, for followers or newbies, with the quiet tongue in cheek eloquence of Jane Collingwood as always sublime, so very much appreciated Ladies :-)

great narrator does justice to a really enjoyable story
Yet another great story from an author who always manage to do more than just entertain. A history lesson with insight into both the past and enduring themes of human nature and social inequality. The narrator was wonderful, also, and does so much to bring out the characters

Property Development in the ancient world…
…was just as topical as in the modern. Yet another crackingly good Flavia Albia investigation, excellently narrated by Jane Collingwood, who brings to life Flavia’s musings on the mystery as she sleuths her way toward the truth.

Fabulous storytelling from Lindsey Davis
Lindsey Davis never lets me down. From the very first Falco novel back in 1989, until this most recent Flavia Albia story today, each one has been a fabulously entertaining comedic tale, which has taught me so much about Ancient Rome, far more than I ever learned at school! The recurring characters have become familiar friends, and every few years I revisit the series from, "The Silver Pigs" all the way through!
