Summary

Introducing turn-of-the-century archaeologist-sleuth Margaret Murray in the first of a brilliant new historical mystery series.

October, 1900. University College, London. When the spread-eagled body of one of her students is discovered in her rented room shortly after attending one of her lectures, Dr. Margaret Murray is disinclined to accept the official verdict of suicide and is determined to find out how and why the girl really died.

As an archaeologist, Dr. Murray is used to examining ancient remains, but she’s never before had to investigate the circumstances surrounding a newly dead corpse. However, of one thing Margaret is certain: If you want to know how and why a person died, you need to understand how they lived. And it soon becomes clear that the dead girl had been keeping a number of secrets. As Margaret uncovers evidence that Helen Richardson had knowledge of a truly extraordinary archaeological find, the body of a second young woman is discovered on a windswept Kent beach - and the case takes a disturbing new twist....

Absolutely lost interest

What started out as an interesting plot quickly turned out an absolute bore I'm afraid. The characters just didn't establish as believable and just charactictures. The narration I felt was a huge part in this books failure for me and was performed as I'm sure the unfortunate in the book performed.. Just for the money and put absolutely nothing into the performance..

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
