It's the first century AD, and Marcus Didius Falco, ancient Rome's favorite son and sometimes palace spy, has just been dealt a lousy blow from the gods: the beautiful, high-born Helena Justina has left him in the dust. So when the Emperor Vespasian calls upon him to investigate an act of treason, Falco is more than ready for a distraction. Disguised as an idle vacationer in the company of his best friend Petronius, Falco travels from the Isle of Capreae to Neapolis and all the way to the great city of Pompeii…where a whole new series of Herculean events - involving yet another conspiracy and a fateful meeting with his beloved Helena - are about to erupt.
Lindsey Davis' Shadows in Bronze is historical mystery at its best.

What did you love best about Shadows in Bronze?
This is a great series but this new narrator is not for this series. He just kills it. Gordon is a wonderful narrator for this great series. The older books are super but hard to find.Sad

I found Simon Preble's narration to be adequate, but much too slow. I had to turn up the playback speed to 1.5x to make it listenable. The character voices were pretty well rendered, but Falco's first person narration was often not as quick and lively as the material warranted. There are several other well known narrators I would have preferred for this reading.
Vivid story telling, narration a bit plodding
