Another Great Book By Ellis Peters

I love best the Ellis Peters earlier books especially with George False, Dominic False and sometimes Bunty False. This book I couldn't put down and couldn't wait to find out the whole complex conclusion. There were turns and twists that really made a great story.

Another Ellis Peters Wonder!

I can't believe that no one else has reviewed this book yet. My recommendation is for those of you interested in intelligent, well-written British procedurals, do not ignore the entire George Felse series. In this book we have an up-close and personal look at an archeological site of interest on the Welsh border. The site is called "Aurae Phiala" and it is one of a few known old Roman civilisations. We are also treated to a wonderful cast of characters, and a perfectly written mystery that will baffle up until the very end. And we have George Felse himself. He is a Detective Inspector now, but he is still his usual implacable and unperturbable self. What a wonderful series. Don't let your reading of Ms. Peters end with the Brother Cadfael series. Give this one a try too.
