Editorial Review:Archaeologist Emma Fielding encounters murder and mystery on the site of an old English Abbey in this second "rip-snorting good mystery" (Aaron Elkins) written by a real-life archaeologist.
Archaeologist Emma Fielding is beginning to doubt the wisdom of spending her summer vacation in England helping friends excavate a 12th-century abbey, especially after they uncover an all-too modern skeleton in the nearby medieval graveyard. But it's the second discovery—of a murdered graduate student recently missing from the dig—that suggests to Emma that Marchester isn't exactly the quiet riverside town in appears to be. And when a member of the town's neopagan community shows up, claiming that the site is a sacred spot for Wiccans, Emma knows that conflicting interests and intentions may have driven someone to murder. There are dark passions and lethal secrets buried here, heinous crimes that shake the conflicted community to its core, and it's up to Emma, an outsider far from home, to delve into a past that too many people—including her friends—would do anything to hide.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Grave Consequences
This book was funny,scary,and interesting all at the same time.The main character, Timothy Murphy, gets scared easily and you can guess his reaction when he sees his own gravestone. I think that this book is one of the best I have ever read.It was easily understood. I would recommend it to boys and some girls of 8-12.
Rating:  - Once promising...
I have a mixed reaction. The setting of English town and speech, and Prof. Emma Fielding's archaeological project in a medieval graveyard, are both excellently rendered. This has the best representation of field work I've ever seen in a novel, better even than Elkins or Connor. Occasionally the text sparkles with wit: [a scheming archaeologist has] "more machinations than a Detroit assembly line, more plots than a graveyard." However, this story is miscategorized as a mystery, dashing my eager anticipation. ... Read More
Rating:  - A pleasant but unfocused mystery
Cameron's main character, Emma Fielding, is an archaeologist who is invited to England for a dig. As the story develops, three sets of remains are uncovered: a saintly woman from medieval times, a man from more recent years, and a graduate student who had been working on the dig. Fielding pokes her nose into these mysteries, encountering contemporary Wiccans (witches) and other local characters. She also gets involved in the marital problems of her hosts. Those interested in field archaeology may enjoy the ... Read More
Rating:  - Quick to Draw You In and Won't Let Go Until the End
I really enjoyed this second book in the Emma Fielding series. Emma was first introduced in Site Unseen, also by Dana Cameron. What I like about Emma is that she is real, with quirks and insecurities and she is also very cool. Dana does a great job making Emma come alive. The other characters in this story also came alive for me. This book was quick to draw me in and it kept me wondering what would happen next. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good story.
Rating: - Emma Fielding's working vacation is not as planned
Emma Fielding is in England helping an acquaintance with a dig a an old abbey. One of the students is missing. A fairly modern skeleton is found on the site. There are other tensions among her friends and the general community. A coven of Wiccans is interested in the site, and there's no good coffee for miles. Emma Fielding is seriously doubting her judgement in helping her new friend Jane and her husband on this dig. When the missing student is found murdered, Jane is a suspect and Emma feels that she should ... Read More
