This volume includes three novels in their entirety: THE ASSASSINS OF ROME: Jonathan has disappeared on a secret quest to Rome. In attempting to locate him, his friends must enter Nero's Golden House, and find an assassin. THE DOLPHINS OF LAURENTUM: A sunken wreck full of treasure seems to be the answer to the four detectives' woes. But someone else seeks the bounty - someone with a sinister connection to Lupus's past. THE TWELVE TASKS OF FLAVIA GEMINA: In order to save her father from a terrible fate, Flavia must perform twelve tasks - just like the Greek hero Hercules.

My daughter has just rattled through The Thieves of Ostia. We were supposed to read it together at bedtime but she was so enthralled she has devoured it. She's 6 and in Yr2, so I thought she might struggle a little but no, she read ahead of me and I was almost disappointed to not read myself how Flavia had solved the mystery. I've just ordered 6 more in the series. I found the first book well written with accurate details, nicely drawn characters and interesting denouement. I heartily recommend this series to other parents who want to get their children hooked on reading.

intelligent, well-written with sympathetic characters, moral issues and fast-paced plot - would stand alone as top notch detective fiction then when you add to this the historical detail in the series I really can't recommend them enough for Junior aged readers (ie yrs 4, 5 and 6 depending on their reading abilities, my son is a very able Year 3 and he loves them - I am a teacher and I love them too!!!)
