5.0 out of 5 stars Another Ellis Peters Wonder!, January 15, 2006
I can't believe that no one else has reviewed this book yet. My recommendation is for those of you interested in intelligent, well-written British procedurals, do not ignore the entire George Felse series. In this book we have an up-close and personal look at an archeological site of interest on the Welsh border. The site is called "Aurae Phiala" and it is one of a few known old Roman civilisations. We are also treated to a wonderful cast of characters, and a perfectly written mystery that will baffle up until the very end. And we have George Felse himself. He is a Detective Inspector now, but he is still his usual implacable and unperturbable self. What a wonderful series. Don't let your reading of Ms. Peters end with the Brother Cadfael series. Give this one a try too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable, June 2, 2011
I found a copy of this book used at a library book sale. Very well plotted; charming characters; and not overwrought. While I am a fan of P.D.James, her books invoke powerful emotion and often are quite dark. Peters has the same talent for lovely prose, but she has a much lighter touch. At least, that's my opinion for what its worth based on this book. I am looking for more.
