My interest in the Falco novels waned after he became a respectable, middle-class citizen.

I originally preferred the Falco series to the similar Gordianus The Finder mysteries, but Gordianus has since become my favorite.

I'll try to get back in to Lindsay Davis' Rome-noir mystery series sometime.
