Read: Lindsey Davis - The Jupiter Myth

I've fallen behind in reading Lindsey Davis' detective Falco novels, which is a shame, because I love the historical detail of the ancient Roman setting, and the banter between the characters. This one felt a bit formulaic in its banter, but the detail was great as ever - London in its early days as a frontier town. And since I checked it out of the library as an e-book, it gave me some English reading material at my convenience while I'm located in France. In fact, just yesterday I saw some ancient Roman artifacts at the museum here in Grenoble, and I'm trying to remember if any of Davis' books have been set in this part of the Roman Empire.
