Time to Depart

A Marcus Didius Falco Mystery

De: Lindsey Davis

Narrado por: Simon Prebble

Balbinus Pius, the most notorious gangster in Emperor Vespasian's Rome, has been convicted of a capital crime at last. A quirk of Roman law, however, allows citizens condemned to death "time to depart" and find exile outside the empire. Now, as every hoodlum in Rome scrambles to take over Balbinus' operations, private eye Marcus Didius Falco has to deal with an unprecedented wave of crime - and the sneaking suspicion that Balbinus' exile may not really be so permanent after all.

Loved the mysterious inclusion of the deaf baby

A little more of a story line would have made it mysterious but I love the character of the deaf baby.

Favorite Falco novel

I love the entire series, but this one really was my favorite when it came to “down in the trenches” action in Rome, though there have been a few Flavia Albia novels that get close.

love the mystery!

A good mystery with well rounded characters & relationships mixed up with interesting historical references. The narrator as always maintains the high quality we have grown to expect. I loved it!

My favorite book series!!

I love that narrators voice. He really brings the story to life. This was another stellar installment of the Marcus Didius Falco mysteries.

Time to Depart

Another great romp through ancient Rome with some very fine characters leading our way. We laugh and worry after what have become good friends as they face they live their lives, face their futures and of course work their way through the enemies and mysteries they now face. One of Lindsey Davis best Falco stories and the reason we, the faithful readers and now audio listeners keep coming back for more.
