Grave Consequences

This book was funny,scary,and interesting all at the same time.The main character, Timothy Murphy, gets scared easily and you can guess his reaction when he sees his own gravestone. I think that this book is one of the best I have ever read.It was easily understood. I would recommend it to boys and some girls of 8-12.

Quick to Draw You In and Won't Let Go Until the End

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.

Emma Fielding's working vacation is not as planned

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.

Loved Site Unseen and this one is even better

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!
