This book combines two things I love to read about, archaeologists and murder mysteries. Sadly, however, it was disappointing on both tracks. To be honest, I got it as a really cheap ebook and it filled in time spent waiting in the airport and flying to and from California so I can't really complain. The plot and characters are lackluster and the end result was not much of a surprise. Archaelologist, Emma Fielding, travels to England to assist a friend on a dig at a medieval abbey. But the search for skeletons turns up a mid-20th Century body buried in the Abbey graveyard. In addition, a local college student who worked on the dig has disappeared, and her wealthy father is laying the blame on the archaelologists who had previously stopped him from razing some old buildings for a new development. The student is ultimately found dead in a dumpster at one of her father's building sites. All in all it was ho-hum read and I won't waste time on any more of this series.
