Kate Galway is looking forward to a quiet summer working on her latest novel at her home on Meredith Island. For a place hardly anyone has heard of, her sleepy Welsh island is attracting a lot of visitors, including a conman posing as a psychic and group of archaeology students who believe they’ve unearthed evidence of a Roman temple. Part-way through the dig, however, the students make an even more startling discovery: a body ritualistically laid out in their trench. While intrigued by the murder, amateur sleuth Kate decides to leave this investigation to the professionals. However, when she learns that both the island mechanic and her university friend’s son are prime suspects, she and hedonistic artist Siobhan Fitzgerald feel they have no choice but to get involved.
A slower murder mystery
"I received this book free from Stonehouse Publishing and River Street writes in exchange for an honest review. I also had received book one earlier in the year and quite enjoyed it. This one wasn’t as engaging for me, I think it was the amount of characters that made it a bit hard for me to follow. It took place in the same place as the first book and had some over lapping characters but could be read out of order. It did revolve around the murder of a somewhat famous psychic in their town who ended up having a lot of enemies and we are trying to find out who hated him enough to kill him. I wasn’t expecting the person who it was so the author did a good job of keeping me off of their trail. I would still recommend this book to fans of murder mysteries."
