The Twelve Tasks of Flavia Gemina

(4) 4-6 Roman Mysteries series. When amateur detective Flavia and her friends decide to find out more about a widow who wants to marry Flavia's father, they link their investigation to Hercules's twelve tasks. Readers looking for Lawrence's usual fast pacing and vivid ancient Roman setting won't be disappointed; still, the contrived structure and not-very-compelling mystery make this a weak entry in a strong series.
