Booklog 54/2024: Lindsey Davis: A Dying Light in Corduba – Marcus Didius Falco #5 – Audiobook

[jacey]

Audiobook read by Gordon Griffin, not my favourite narrator, but the Falco stories are good. This time Anacrites (not Falco's favourite person) is attacked in Rome, and badly injured, and one of his young agents is killed, so Falco, together with seven-months-pregnant Helena Justina, sails off to Spain to expose a consortium conspiracy to fix the price of olive oil. Though Falco's priority is to catch the murderer and get Helena Justina back to Rome before her baby is born. Unfortunately is becomes clear that there are factions in Rome he can't trust, and another spy is operating in the same area on a similar mission.
