At the end of book 17 of the Roman Mysteries, Caroline Lawrence introduced us to Threptus – a young beggar boy. In this fun and fabulous new series, Threptus starts work with his mentor – the soothsayer, Floridius – and together they must solve their first mystery…

Can they rid a rich woman’s house of the demon that haunts it in the dead of night? What is the true nature of the demon? And is it really a supernatural being?

Threptus is a brave, funny and loveable hero and each story is a mini-mystery perfect for readers aged 7 up.

I didn't like this book very much at all because the only thing that happened was that they were just wandering about all the time being bullied

I've read most of the other books in the series and it's not the best one, but it's still worth the read.
