This review is from: The Roman Mysteries Treasury (Hardcover)

I bought this thinking it contained several of the books in the series. It is not. It is a book looking deeper into the background of the series. If you are a big fan of the Roman Mysteries books and want to know more of the history behind the books, you'll love this book. It is beautiful and well arranged.
