Editorial Reviews

'Caroline Lawrence's Roman Mysteries series is brought to its dramatic conclusion... This seventeen-book epic makes ancient classic stories accessible and exciting. I think the whole package is a tremendous achievement and sure to bring in a whole new readership'—CHILDREN'S BOOKSELLER on The Man from Pomegranate Street

'Lawrence steers this story - and the series - to a romantic and irresistibly weepy conclusion, and, like so many good endings, it involves breathless reunions, a journey and a wedding (I mustn't reveal any more...)'—INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY on The Man from Pomegranate Street

'Caroline has taken the reader from Enid Blyton to Mills & Boon in seventeen steps, and I mean that in the best possible way. Few authors claim to have been inspired by romantic fiction, whereas many crime writers do mention Blyton as an early inspiration. Add a good dollop of history, and you've got the whole series of the Roman Mysteries. Personally I have learnt a lot about the brief period that the books cover, and I was never one for Roman Emperors'—BOOKWITCH on The Man from Pomegranate Street
