Review:
'a marvellous introduction to the favourite murder methods of Roman times... this book also offers an ingenious introduction to Epicureanisma and Stoicism plus reflections on what constitutes a happy marriage and the true meaning of bravery.' (Angela Kiverstein JEWISH CHRONICLE)
'the 11th title in Caroline Lawrence's excellent series... in this one Lawrence emphasises the much narrower divide between childhood and adulthood that pertained in the Roman period and the result is something much more sophisticated that a pure adventure or mystery novel... It's good to see a series developing and growing with its readers. (Michael Thorn TES)
'Lawrence's Roman Mysteries have humour, drama and tragedy and The Sirens of Surrentum is another emotional, action-packed tale to delight her legions of fans.' (BRIDLINGTON TODAY)
'It is very exciting and I couldn't put it down... I can't wait for the next books.' (Flora Murray (age 9) JOURNAL OF CLASSICS TEACHING)
