Product Description

"She's Agatha Christie with an attitude; outrageous and engrossing at the same time."
Steven Womack,
NASHVILLE BANNER
Book four in Sharyn McCrumb's Elizabeth MacPherson murder mystery series.
A motley crew of American and British professionals and amateurs gathers for an archaeological dig into prehistoric burial rites on a small Scottish island. Things already aren't going so well, when one of the strongest in the crew dies suddenly. Afraid for her life, fellow digger and forensic anthropologist Elizabeth MacPherson probes the rocky topsoil for a reason behind the evil aura of death that seems to hover over them. Is the excavation cursed by the ancient dead...or is there a more modern explanation behind the group's strangely rising mortality rate...?


Ingram

On an isolated Scottish island, nine archaeologists are digging. Eight are digging ruins. One is digging graves. Among the dwindling, yet still diligent diggers is Elizabeth MacPherson, part graduate student, part sleuth. She is the first to suspect something--but can her skills save her life? Original.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good entertainment!, Déc 18 2003

I really enjoyed this mystery, and while it followed (in a satisfying way) some of the traditions of the genre, it also avoided a lot of the cliches through the depiction of interesting, non-stereotypical characters and relationships. Strangers stuck on an inhospitable island together, unexplained accidents and mysterious deaths, the haunting sound of bag pipes coming across the water, a brewing storm - these all come together to provide pleasantly shivery reading. The reader of the audio version has a lovely lilting voice, and while it's a little odd to have her speaking in the voice of the American female protagonist's diary, she does a great job with the Scottish accents!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sharyn McCrumb is wonderful!, Oct. 21 2003

I recently re-read this book and enjoyed it thoroughly. I really like the Elizabeth McPherson stories. She's an anthropologist, not a detective, but she can add two and two.

This time she joins an archeological group on a remote Scottish island, and her companions are quite diverse. You never know quite where anyone stands, and when people start dying of some unknown cause, it doesn't occur to anyone that it might be murder.

Ms. McCrumb has a wonderful sense of humor and uses it appropriately in her stories. My favorite McCrumb story (and title) is "If I'd Killed Him When I Met Him..."

3.0étoiles sur 5 Somewhat strident in tone, Avril 16 2000
One wouldn't want to be stranded on a nearly deserted island with this heroine. Nor should anyone rely upon Elizabeth MacPherson's detective skills - it takes 3 murders, a pseudo-suicide and several casualities before she solves the mystery. Furthermore, the Elizabeth/Cameron "romance" looks like a dysfunctional family prototype. But, if you take the lighthearted fare as offered, it's still an enjoyable journey and a pretty good read. The unabridged audio recording (read by Davinia Porter and Ian Stuart) doesn't quite do the trick, Elizabeth with a British accent? Mr. Stuart seems clueless, but with little or no charm at all. Somewhat strident in tone, and not a particularly good pairing of readers and books.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Engrossing and sublime.
This book was excellent. I actually felt the dread of the Scottish Island. The characters were believable and the book is easily read.

5.0étoiles sur 5 WOW!!
I think this is the best Sharyn McCrumb book I've read. The comedic aspect of the book was a winner, and the ending was completely unexpected. I couldn't put it down.

4.0étoiles sur 5 excellent read
In this story, as in all her Elizabeth MacPherson mysteries, Sharon McCrumb has provided readers with a detective who is intelligent yet fallible. Read more
