(4) 4-6 Set in 79 C.E., this mystery features a sharp-witted Roman girl, Flavia, her Jewish neighbor Jonathan, a rescued slave, Nubia, and a tongueless beggar boy named Lupus. When Jonathan's watchdog is slain, the team sets out to find the killer. Details of the setting are intriguing, and although the characters seem anachronistic, the mystery progresses swiftly to its satisfying conclusion.
