My favourite Robert Harris so far is Pompeii. I was reading it at the time
we went to the archaeological site which I found quite overwhelming. Ghost
and Fatherland were both excellent. The only one that I found slightly
disappointing was Archangel where the story didn't quite hang together at
the end.

I've yet to be let down by Robert Harris and I too enjoyed this book.
The first of his books which I read was Ghost - a very different book indeed
but a real page-turner and you didn't have to be a mind-reader to see which
primeminister he was basing his character on.

Hi
While I am avoiding Casualty I have the time to tell you about what I am
reading at present.
Firstly, I'm almost breaking one of my rules in that I am reading twobooks
set in the same place. However as there is over 2000 years between them it
shouldn't be much of a problem. The first is Robert Harris' Lustrum. This is
the second part of his fictional biography of Cicero. I read the first
volume because it was Robert Harris but didn't expect to enjoy much but
surprised myself by finding I was totally immersed in it. So far the second
part is living up to the first. The second book is The Lost Girls of Rome by
Domato Carrisi. This is a complex one. It is almost Robert Langdon meets
Temperance Brennan but not quite. It starts with unrelated incidents in
Rome, Milan and Paris and features modern day monks using heightened
perception to find out what has happened and a Forensic scientist looking
for scientific proof. So far it is good. I don't know anything about the
author but assume the book has been translated from Italian.
