Description
Dame Penelope Spring and Sir Toby Glendower are related only by the marriage of Penny's son to Toby's daughter, but they have more than that in common--they both love anthropology, archaeology, all things ancient, a good mystery, and, of course, their two wonderful grandchildren. When a former student of Toby's asks for his help with a difficult dig in Dorset, Toby's professional curiosity is understandably aroused--all the more when it turns out that the dig will lead to his involvement in a murder case, perhaps the most exciting one of his entire amateur sleuthing career (this is the eleventh entry in the series). Soon Toby's busy investigating Dorset druids, witch covens, and bands of smugglers, while Penny tracks down the murderer and tries to unearth a cache of priceless jewels buried since the French Revolution. There's plenty of high adventure along with some surprising plot twists, a good bit of understated humor, and a hearty dose of Dorset and French history. A lighthearted, pleasantly entertaining read for fans of the British cozy. Emily Melton
