Hello Amica,
Today review is regarding The Lost Shrine by Nicola Ford. This is the second book in Nicola Claire Hill series. The first book in the series is called The Hidden Bone and you can find my Review HERE.
The Hart Unit is under some financial difficulties, so when commercial work with a housing developer in the Cotswolds that are hardly in a position to refuse. Even when they find out that the previous site director Beth Kinsella is found dead on the site.
Despite initial misgivings, Clare leads a team to continue work on the dig. As they continue to work on the dig the rumours about Beth and her claims about the site refuse to stop. Clare suspects there is more to the rumours about Beth and the site. Clare decided to investigate hoping to uncover the truth before it’s lost forever.
The Mixture of murder mystery with archeology makes The Lost Shrine a thrilling read.
The Lost Shrine is like a murder mystery happening in the middle of Time Team. (Time team is a TV that followed archeology digs in the UK hosted by Tony Robinson. It was great you should google it) I am a history geek, so I loved reading about the dig, the items found even the paperwork need to remove certain items.
Nicola writing style is detailed, easy to read and engaging. Never was I left wondering about any technical or archeology term, as it’s alway explained. She has also created an interesting bunch of character, the type of characters that if you invited to a dinner party they would have plenty of interesting stories to tell.
My rating for 4 out of 5
