Two for the Lions (Marcus Didius Falco Mysteries) (Marcus Didius Falco, #10) (Falco, #10)

by Lindsey Davis

Lumbered with working alongside reptilian Chief Spy Anacrites, Marcus Didius Falco has the perfect plan to make money - he will assist Vespasian in the Emperor's 'Great Census' of AD73. His potential fee could finally allow him to join the middle ranks and be worthy of long-suffering Helena Justina. Unexpectedly confronted with the murder of a man-eating lion, Falco is distracted from his original task, uncovering a bitter rivalry between the gladiators' trainers. With one star gladiator dead, Falco is forced to investigate and the trail leads from Rome to the blood-soaked sand of the arena in North Africa.

I give up. This series is added to my short list of books/series I just can't finish. I only stuck it out this long to see what happens with the relationship and characters. I don't even care anymore about the characters. They can all go die in a fire and I'd only sigh in relief. The mysteries often weren't engaging to me. It was just a very bland drag to find out if Marcus gets the girl and gets a better status.
