In author Sharon Lynn’s second adventure in her Cotswold Crimes Mystery series, danger ramps up for nineteen-year-old Maggie McGuire. The American archaeology intern once again discovers a body, this time, in the countryside near Bath, England. Again, she turns detective to solve the grisly crime that somehow feels very personal.
Maggie’s boyfriend, Constable Edward Bailey, assists. But then, he disappears! Maggie’s every lead turns up more questions than answers. Are her colleagues, Dolly and Simon at the Roman Baths excavation site, involved? What about their relatives, Lady Vivian and Viscount Clarence De Valence?
Lynn is adept at creating characters we love or hate. So, when Maggie falls into a deadly situation where escape seems impossible, I found myself genuinely worrying about the sleuth. I couldn’t read the book fast enough to see what happened. I highly recommend this shocking mystery thriller. But be warned: It’s no relaxing English bath.

This third book in A Cotswold Crimes Mysteries series showcases author Sharon Lynn’s ability to ramp up angst, crime, and danger. As American student Maddie McGuire stumbles upon multiple crime scenes, she starts wondering with good cause if England has it out for her. It doesn’t help that a snarky detective named Douglass thinks she’s guilty of every transgression—from the stabbed, charred body inside a wicker man, to the theft of an ancient gold coin, to the withholding of vital evidence. And more.
Amateur sleuth and archaeologist Maddie must prove herself innocent of crimes, avoid antlers, zip ties, knives, and fire, search for a phenomenal treasure, pinpoint killers, determine Scottish boyfriend Edward’s level of commitment, and learn if her employers at The Roman Baths will extend her internship. Whew! The plot's and characters' intensity and scads of Briticisms make this reader hope for many more page-turning books in the series.
