(3) 4-6 Roman Mysteries series. Flavia and her friends solve a third mystery, this time involving kidnapped children, pirates, and escaped slaves. The setting--a villa outside Pompeii, just after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius--is palpably evoked; the action is nonstop (with not so many gratuitous cliffhanger chapter endings as before); and the characters are well delineated. A light mystery that contains/disguises a wealth of detail about life in ancient Rome.
