This is the first in a series of books feature Falco - a detective in Ancient Rome. At first I felt it was a bit clunky but I like history and have been listening to The History of Rome podcasts for the last 6 months so kept on with it. After a while I found it hard to put down; becoming absorbed in the action and the setting – The start of Vespasian' s reign.
I'll delay reading number 2 for a little while as I need to sleep on occasion. I'm still delaying the next Steig Larsson book for the same reason.
In the meant time I have started my second book. This time I decided to write 1,000 words a day. It's been a bit hard but the discipline is good. It's surprising how much I can get into even when I have had to drag myself to write at the end of a long day when inspiration is just a tablet for indigestion.
