Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. 3.5 stars ( ) En esta nueva entrega, Falco va a Grecia, adonde ha ido en viaje de estudios el cuñado de Marco, Aulo. Lo que empieza siendo un viaje de familia para controlar un poco al joven, acabará, como siempre le ocurre a Falco, complicándose. Esta vez se ve envuelto en una serie de enigmáticos asesinatos de mujeres que las compañías que organizan viajes se han cuidado mucho de no difundir. Esta vez la novela de Lindsey Davis hace un guiño a nuestro tiempo, con el tema de los viajes organizados y la catadura moral de las agencias de viajes, todo ello, en una perfecta ambientación histórica y con la ironía y el desenfado que ya es habitual. Falco and wife go to Greece to investigate the deaths of two young women. They follow a travel company and see many temples and statues. More deaths follow and around and around they go. We get to know a couple of Falco's nephews a bit more. Sometimes you have to really concentrate to keep up with all the characters and the Roman names. Their girls stay at home in Roma with Julia Justa. Take a trip to Greece in the 70 AD times. Falco is always good fun, but this time I struggled a bit with the story...there were very good bits and some gripping moments, but in general I didn't get that feeling of having to keep reading because the plot is that amazing. Nope, not this time. I hope the next one in the series is back to the usual quality. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"With safe seas, good roads, and provinces rich in heritage sites, Marcus Didius Falco's fellow countrymen have become voracious tourists. Greece, home of the ancient Olympic Games, is a favourite destination for Seven Sights Travel, a seedy company which provides escorted tours for wealthy travellers. Falco and Helena hear that a young girl and a newly-wed woman, both Roman visitors, have been murdered at Olympia; the authorities will not investigate properly, so Falco steps in. After making himself unwelcome at the hidebound sanctuary, he soon finds himself up against Seven Sights, its absentee tour-guide and its mixed bunch of customers, some of whom have things to hide. The search for culture is far from genteel - and it can be very dangerous. Both the bridegroom and Helena's brother go missing in the birthplace of myth, as Falco and Helena struggle with a case that may contain worse features than any they have dealt with yet..."
