Review: this is the 12th book in the brilliant Falco series written by Lindsey Davis. it sees Falco investigating the publishing & banking world after the murder of a prominent and corrupt publisher / banker in the Rome of Emperor Vespasian. as usual Lindsey Davis brings Falco's roman world to vivid life all her characters are brilliantly written. I truly love this series as I've said in the other reviews I have written the only slight fault I found with Ode to a banker is the tongue in cheek Agatha Christie style "all suspects gathered in the library" ending, I really cant recommend these books enough.

Review: Really love the Falco tales - all told with a rather ironic sense if humour. Always complicated, with intriging characters and with a really great sense of the Roman way of life, this series is a must for anyone who doesn't take history too seriously.
