Publisher's Summary
Rats are always bigger than you expect. Falco, ancient Rome's hangdog investigator, hates sharing a cell with a rodent - though being bailed by his old mother is almost as embarrassing. His high-born girlfriend can't decide if she wants him, and Titus Caesar's reward for past services is a wet fish. Hoping for a better life, or at least a better apartment, he takes on new clients.
On the elegant slopes of the Pincian Hill, three nouveau riche freedmen with two flashy wives are under siege by a clever redhead. Severina Zotica has a foul-mouthed parrot, an odd connection with a snake dancer - and a very suspicious past. As he pursues this flame-haired fortune-hunter, Falco finds himself beset by violent rentracketeers, poisoners, and women without consciences who have dangerous designs on him.

Good Story Wrong Narrator
I'm enjoying the Marcus Didius Falco series. I always feel like I am being entertained and educated at the same time with these Roman mysteries, and Falco is a fun character.
My one gripe is that Marcus is a character in his late 20's - early 30's with a bit of scrapper in him, yet the narrator sounds like a middle-aged professor who rarely leaves his study, which is a problem as it's supposed to be Marcus telling the story in first person narration. The narration itself is fine, just the wrong voice, made it hard for me to fully immerse in the story.
That being said, I'll still get the next one in the series!

Bravo
Good performance and great story progressing how love conquers class boundaries. I really enjoyed the story which, having been unimpressed and scathing of the narrators effort on book 2 was no barrier to eager listening to this book 3. Great job by both author and narrator. It has me questioning now if I really am a romantic at heart ...no, surely not !
