The Sirens of Surrentum Summary

The Sirens of Surrentum: Book 11 by Caroline Lawrence

Summer AD 80. Flavia and her friends receive an invitation to stay at the luxurious Villa Limona in Surrentum, where their friend Pulchra has a mystery she desperately wants them to solve. After a year of hardship and disasters, people are in cheerful spirits - there is even talk of love and romance. But it seems one of the guests has murder in mind. Can Flavia and her friends track down the would-be poisoner before it's too late?

The Sirens of Surrentum Reviews

'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
