Grave Consequences (Emma Fielding Mysteries, No. 2) [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Dana Cameron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2004

Archaeologist Emma Fielding is beginning to doubt the wisdom of spending her vacation in England helping friends excavate a twelfth-century abbey, especially when they uncover an all-too-modern skeleton in a nearby medieval graveyard. But it's the second discovery -- of a murdered graduate student recently missing from the dig -- that suggests to Emma that Marchester isn't exactly the quiet riverside town it appears to be. There are dark passions and lethal secrets buried here, heinous crimes that shake the conflicted community to its core. And it's up to Emma, an outsider far from home, to delve into a past that too many people -- including her friends -- would do anything to hide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Emma Fielding's working vacation is not as planned, December 29, 2002

This review is from: Grave Consequences (Emma Fielding Mysteries, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Emma Fielding is in England helping an acquaintance with a dig a an old abbey. One of the students is missing. A fairly modern skeleton is found on the site. There are other tensions among her friends and the general community. A coven of Wiccans is interested in the site, and there's no good coffee for miles. Emma Fielding is seriously doubting her judgement in helping her new friend Jane and her husband on this dig. When the missing student is found murdered, Jane is a suspect and Emma feels that she should help solve the crime as well as find the body of a supposed saint buried on the site.

This is a typical and entertaining Emma Fielding mystery. The characters are very real and so are their interactions and problems. The murderer is somewhat difficult to identify, but it all comes together in the end. I would have liked to have seen more of Pooter and his buddies, they were more entertaining than Emma's hosts, but maybe they'll show up in another novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick to Draw You In and Won't Let Go Until the End, January 7, 2003

This review is from: Grave Consequences (Emma Fielding Mysteries, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed this second book in the Emma Fielding series. Emma was first introduced in Site Unseen, also by Dana Cameron. What I like about Emma is that she is real, with quirks and insecurities and she is also very cool. Dana does a great job making Emma come alive. The other characters in this story also came alive for me. This book was quick to draw me in and it kept me wondering what would happen next. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved Site Unseen and this one is even better, December 15, 2002

This review is from: Grave Consequences (Emma Fielding Mysteries, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Having visited my wife-to-be in England several times while she was a student there, I found the depiction of student life and "pub"-life wonderful and very accurate. I found the characters fascinating and funny and the answer to the mystery was shocking and original...definitely recommended!
