What to expect
Dorothy Martin and her husband, retired Chief Constable Alan Nesbitt, go on a trip to Orkney in Scotland to visit an old friend and see some intriguing Stone Age excavations. They realize there’s considerable dissension between the archaeologists and the principal donor for the newest dig, a wealthy and abrasive American.
When a more recent corpse is found at the dig, various suspects are named, but there’s not enough evidence to bring a case against anyone. Dorothy, always sensitive to atmosphere and the undercurrent of tension pervading the project, has become fascinated by the strong aura of the ancient past that pervades Orkney, and she and Alan launch an unofficial investigation into the murder.
Critics Review

Publishers Weekly
-
“Another solid mystery anchored by a pair of likable protagonists and a supporting cast of characters who would feel right at home in an Agatha Christie mystery. Series fans will be delighted.”
Booklist
-
“Dams extends her list of pleasant British cozies with another installment marked by her trademark local color and another solid mystery.”
