The Silver Pigs

A Marcus Didius Falco Mystery

By: Lindsey Davis

Narrated by: Christian Rodska

The Silver Pigs is the classic novel that introduced people around the world to Marcus Didius Falco, a private informer with a knack for trouble, a tendency for bad luck, and a frequently inconvenient drive for justice.

When Marcus Didius Falco encounters the young and very pretty Sosia Camillina in the Forum, he senses immediately that there is something amiss. When she confesses that she is fleeing for her life, Falco offers to help her and, in doing so, gets himself mixed up in a deadly plot involving stolen ingots, dangerous and dark political machinations, and, most hazardous of all, one Helena Justina - a brash, indomitable senator's daughter connected to the very traitors that Falco has sworn to expose.

interesting story worty a listen

a nice story and good performance with a lot of geographical references that makes the story come to life more

Excellent

Nicely read with characterization throughout. Interesting choice of inflection for the female characters. I'll but another.

Outstanding

Can’t wait to start the next book. Narrator was fantastic. Story was gripping. Well done!

Fun historical fiction

Davis spins a good story while bringing in enough details of Roman daily life to keep the student of history interested. Narration is very good.

The contemporaneous vernacular set in antiquity.

Overall I much enjoyed the first book after listening to 19 and 20 first. Looking forward to the series. She is using something that works and doesn't take it to extremes like some authors do. Love her style.
