Summary
Originally I planned to write eighteen Roman Mysteries, but because my books take place around real historical events, I was running out of time. Book sixteen finds the four friends in Ephesus in August AD 81, for events crucial to the arc of the series. The final mystery was always going to be about the mysterious death of Titus in the Sabine Hills on the Ides of September in AD 81.

Critics Review
Caroline Lawrence’s Roman Mysteries series is brought to its dramatic conclusion…This 17-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
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 StreetLawrence steers this story and the series to a romantic and irresistably weepy conclusion, and, like so many good endings, it involves breathless reunions, a journey and a wedding (I mustn’t reveal anymore…) - INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY on The Man from Pomegranate StreetAbout The Author
