Falco on his Metal: A private detective in 71 AD Rome. Very nicely crafted & a pleasure to read.
Read Mar 2004 ( )

Venus in Copper has its moments -- the turbot dinner with Titus is a hoot and Priscillus is a nasty piece of work. I did like Severina Zotica, and hope to see more of her in future books. Although individually I like Falco and Helena, their on-again off-again rollercoaster relationship is starting to get on my nerves.

The Iron Hand of Mars -- Falco and Helena's relationship gets more tedious in this one. The goings on in Germania weren't really all that interesting either. Claudia Sacrata brought a smile, though.

Poseidon's Gold -- great fun. It's Falco's mad family that really makes it. All concerned seem to have come to terms with each other and with their pasts, but I wouldn't like to bet against more upsets to come. ( )

no 3, 4 and 5 of roman PI Falco (Omnibus, 1991+1992) ( )
