The Fighting Wessex Wyverns by Patrick Delaforce. Just started it and as with his other books very good so far. I bought a load of others for my 50th birthday treat, so have a nice stack waiting to be started over Xmas and into the New Year .

Half way through Operation Mincemeat by Ben Macintyre, the story behind the "Man Who Never Was" deception. The circumstances behind the fiction were even more involved and fantastic than the film could ever hope to show and reinforce the old truism that people believe what they want to believe.

I am reading Master and God by Lindsey Davies  ...not a Falco one but really good story set in the time of Domitian

[cameronian]

Rothenberg's 'The Army of Francis Joseph' and Henderson's 'Worth' (both Christmas presents from wife and children but if you wait until they've gone to bed, then verrrrry carefully peel the selotape away from the bottom corner ... )

Have to say I thought it was one of the worst books I've read  Not patch on the early Falco novels. 

The "fly" chapter more or less finsihed it for me

[Fenton]

Well I would agree its not as good as the Falco books but its an interesting way of giving an overview of the history of the period

I wonder how the Falco's daughter informer books will be received or are there just to many Roman detectives about now

[Malbork]

I think you're probably right - the ancient detective world is getting a little ovepopulated.

One of the ones I like is Gordianus the Finder in the Roma sub Rosa series.  Worth checking out if you like toga'd sleuths 

[Fenton]

I still like the Marylin Todd Books as well as David Wishart. The Medicus books by Ruth Downie are good as well

The Gordianus ones aren't bad just dont like the character

I quite like the Rosemary Rowe ones as well

Keane's Company by Ian Gale.  Very good and some insight into a relatively unknown aspect of the Peninsular War - the spy network. And a good story to boot.
