Maddie McGuire, the effervescent American transplanted to England, is back with a rollicking, sometimes-scary adventure as she joins an archeological dig. She interacts with vibrantly-drawn secondary characters as she blunders into one bit of trouble after another. The setting is cool, the plot is hot, but the one thing that distinguishes Lynn’s series from other great cozies is Maddie’s personality, which emerges from the page into honest-to-goodness, unforgettable delight.—Saralyn Richard, author of Bad Blood Sisters and Mrs. Oliver’s Twist
