Some of the mysteries are easily solved; others not. This was a pleasant departure from the regular Finder novels, sort of like a palate cleanser. A lot of Roman culture is contained in each story, which I really enjoyed. ( ) La muerte llega a Roma reúne nueve relatos, presentados en orden cronológico, que narran nuevos y encantadores casos del conocido detective Gordiano el Sabueso durante los años iniciales de su carrera profesional. Más precisamente, transcurren entre 77 y 63 a.c., los últimos años de la República romana. Steven Saylor es un erudito artista a la hora de describir la eterna, fascinante y perversa ciudad de Roma, escenario de muchas de las aventuras de Gordiano, aunque algunas de sus investigaciones también llevan al lector a Hispania, Sicilia, la bahía de Nápoles, e incluso más allá de las fronteras de Italia. A great collection of Gordianus short stories. Better than the first collection, I would say. Especially enjoyed "If A Cyclops Could Vanish in the Blink of an Eye" about Bethesda and a cat, but really they are all good stories that get right to the interesting action. Great to learn more about little bits of Roman life. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Gordianus the Finder, famed detective of Ancient Rome, returns in a riveting of stories. Nine tales of murder and intrigue take him from the seamy streets of Rome to elegant villas on the Bay of Naples, from the spectacular backdrop of a chariot race to a domestic dispute with his Egyptian concubine Bethesda. In the title story a beautiful Nubian actress begs Gordianus to solve an impossible problem: how can she have just seen her beloved brother in the market place when she had previously watched him die a gruesome death as a gladiator?
