Book Buzz

This new Book Buzz comes from Adult Services Librarian Barbara Henry who is currently on vacation. Barbara writes, "Hello. It's a great summer for reading. I've got three books going all at once. Help! Two are being read for a book discussion group. The other is for pure pleasure. I will tell you about that one--it is a marriage of archaeology and mystery, two favorite themes of mine. The book is Grave Consequences (Emma Fielding Mysteries, No. 2) by Dana Cameron. Emma Fielding, an American archaeologist, goes to England to help a colleague with a dig in an ancient cemetery at an old medieval abbey. But not all the burials are ancient. Some have marks of very recent activity. While investigating the site, a dig crew member is found dead in a nearby skip (British for dumpster). Couple that with strange New Age characters, a young female vicar, and ley lines for a satisfying mystery that just won't give up its secrets until the end. By the way, Dana Cameron, the author, is a real live practicing archaeologist. She brings a lot of authenticity to each page. I highly recommend Grave Consequences if you like your mysteries with a timeline twist. Go to the OWWL catalog to take a look at Grave Consequences and place a hold. Happy summer reading. See you in August."
