...The Thieves of Ostia is the first book in the series of the Roman Mysteries by acclaimed author, Caroline Lawrence. This tale, set in Roman times tells of four children, Flavia, Jonathan, Lupus and Nubia who go on the hunt for a mysterious dog - killer in the city of Ostia. They eventually find the killer and the four became good friends. There are 20 books in the series, the Thieves of Ostia being the first. So far, 11 of the 20 have been published.

Caroline Lawrence's great website is www.romanmysteries.com.... Read review
