Critic Reviews
“"Word of mouth recommendations, and school visits by the author, who describes such fascinating props as the sponge on a stick that the Romans used to wipe their bottoms, have made Caroline Lawrence's Roman Mysteries into one of the success stories of the year. Her novels...are informed by her scholarly knowledge of the classics. Her latest and darkest is The Assassins of Rome."”
The author's classical and Hebrew scholarship underpins the lively, modern tone of the thrilling adventures of four young detectives - Nicolette Jones
