Really I get Colton was trying to emphasize certain things but goodness gracious over and over it got very annoying. I also found the cowardice of the the main character akin to Meyer's Bella and her lack of grace. How many times did it need to be punctuated? Long winded at times, I still overall enjoyed the story. It was a good intrigue and I enjoyed Colton's prose. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReihePompeii (1)
History awaits an unsuspecting young man, fleeing the imperial capital and Nero's wrath. Arriving in Pompeii, Marcellus witnesses the funeral of a local man; the course of his life will be altered by this stranger's death. Unable to stop the murder of a mysterious woman named Helen, Marcellus becomes the caretaker of the dead woman's newborn baby. Hiding in plain sight at a brothel, Marcellus is left to decipher Helen's secrets. With the help of his overbearing servant and a seductive oracle, Marcellus must deduce who in Pompeii has blood on their hands. Helen's killer and Marcellus's true identity appear to be his greatest threats. Little does he know what cataclysm the Mighty Jove has designed. If Marcellus can survive the city's disaster, he just might expose a murderer and stay alive. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

A satisfyingly complex mystery with a huge cast of characters. I loved the central Wooster and Jeeves relationship between Marcellus and Tay, and definitely want to read more of their adventures and something of Tay's back story.
However, I do have to say my enjoyment was marred by the number of typos, though I don't know whether they came from the original or the formatting as an ebook. ( )
