Editorial Review:What bones are buried in the shadows of the past?
Asked to join in a dig at the site of the eighteenth-century Chandler House, archaeologist Emma Fielding and her student crew have descended upon Stone Harbor, Massachusetts. But certain residents of the tiny coastal community are none too happy about Emma's arrival -- especially when her excavation uncovers a pair of freshly slain corpses. There are dark forces at play in this dangerously divided town, where a distrust of strangers wars with a desire for tourist dollars. And when a young local's life is snuffed out, Emma is determined to get to the twisted roots of the strange secrets buried in this killing ground. But a mystery that lies among the tumbled ruins of a once grand manor could change Stone Harbor forever. And for some murderous someone, one more death -- Emma's -- would be a small price to pay to keep it hidden.

Rating:  - Left me hanging.
First I'd like to say that the archaeological information was refreshingly correct and that I enjoyed some of the insights into how it feels to have the general public misunderstand the profession. As a professional archaeologist, I've often experienced many similar emotions in response to public comments but Ms. Cameron presents them in an amusing way that doesn't come across as condescending.
I thought that the book was well written, engaging, and that the main characters were well ... Read More

Rating:  - Slow beginning - cliche small town characters
Sorry, but it simply did not grab me. Slow, confusing beginning. I got to page 30 with nothing interesting happening - I gave up. So many GOOD mysteries, so little time.
Rating: - ARtificially legthening the story...
Like most of the reviewers of these books and this series, I will most probably go back and read these books again.I wanted to give the author a fair chance to see what level of skill her writing is on. One book is not enough to base my opinions on usually, and since there were no other glaring problems that needed to be fixed, I want to try Cameron again. In a different field that usually seen in books like this mystery, Cameron's sleuth is a woman who literally digs up the past. She doesn't just dig up the ... Read More
Rating: - Archaeologist Emma Fielding finds murder in Massachusetts
Archaeologist Emma Fielding and her student crew are working on a dig at the eighteenth century Chandler House in Massachusetts. Neighbors are not very happy about the dig, especially when they find two separate murders. These aren't old bones from past murders, these are freshly slain corpses.
Emma's students are staying with her and her husband at their home not too far from the dig. This can prove interesting with so many people in one house. Plus Emma's sister has come to visit. Another ... Read More
