mystery in Ireland

Archeologist Illaun Bowe finds the remains of a woman and a baby near the prehistoric site Newgrange. She thinks this discovery will give her career a big boost. But then another body is found. The body of the man who wanted to build a hotel right on the spot where Illaun made her discovery. Illaun becomes a suspect, but did she do it? Illaun starts her own investigation and the traces lead her to the abbey next to Newgrange. Well written murder mystery. Not quite a pageturner, because you really need to stay focused to be able to follow all the twists and turns in the book. For people who are interested in Irish history and religion and for people who like a good mystery.
