About this listen

"What did he eat last? Whom did he eat, in fact?"

Lumbered with working alongside reptilian Chief Spy Anacrites, Falco has the perfect plan to make money - he will assist Vespasian in the Emperor's 'Great Census' of AD 73. His potential fee could finally allow him to join the middle ranks and be worthy of long-suffering Helena Justina.

Unexpectedly confronted with the murder of a man-eating lion, Falco is distracted from his original task, uncovering a bitter rivalry between the gladiators' trainers. With one star gladiator dead, Falco is forced to investigate and the trail leads from Rome to the blood-soaked sand of the arena in North Africa.

Enjoyed good pace and characterisations. Great sense of location and the Roman period. And no ‘performances’ - no dodgy accents or inaccurate voices - thank you!

Back in Time for classic Falco mystery

Lindsay Davis never fails to deliver. Two for the Lions has more twists and turns than a Roman catacomb right to the end she leaves uou guessing

Another great Ripping Yarn

There seemed to be a large section in the middle that was given over to background or scene setting. It just didn't move along at the usual pace. The start and finish were crisp but it got bogged down in the middle.

Not the usual standard

I have become used to Gordon Griffin as the narrator of some of the Falco audiobooks now although Christian Rodska was a hard act to follow. If you imagine Falco in his retirement telling tall tales of his days as an Imperial Roman investigator then it's very enjoyable. Lindsey Davis's writing is always entertaining not to be missed!
