The Thieves of Ostia

Roman Mysteries series

by Caroline Lawrence

Libby audiobook 4 hours

Read by Kim Hicks

Published: 2001 (audio 2004)

Genre: YA historical mystery

 

This is another series I had on the shelves at Pioneer Ridge but had not read. There were things that bugged me and things I liked. 

 

Bugged: the killing and beheading of dogs as a plot line . . . some of the other historical details that were questionable . . . Flavia's flouting of rules and reason to prove her point . . .

 

Liked: Malachi's and Jonathan's true reason for moving, the change in circumstances for Wolfie, the ending, . . .  


It was a pleasant mystery and well narrated by Hicks.
