Venus in Copper by Lindsey Davis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Falco, the swords-and-sandals, wisecracking informer (read “detective”) from Imperial Rome and his patrician (read upper-class) girlfriend Helena are back in one of the earlier books from this series. You would never realize it when you are reading it, but a wealth of historical detail underscores everything from the characters and plot to the endless one-liners that make up much of the dialogue.
