The sequel to Ashes to Ashes

After months of long-distance phone calls, Rebecca Reid is thrilled to be working with Michael Campbell again, this time on a dig at Rudesburn Priory in the Scottish Borders. It’s rumored that Robert the Bruce's heart was buried there, and that the abbey's last prioress, Anne Douglas, still haunts its ruins.

Michael and Rebecca have to work with a self-important archaeologist, Jeremy Kleinfelter, whose reputation is on the line after he was accused of salting his previous dig. They also have to deal with the townspeople, who want the dig to be successful---and who don't know about Jeremy's shady past---and four volunteers working on the dig, loose cannons, every one, each with a secret in his or her past.

Then Sheila Fitzgerald, Michael's ex-girlfriend, appears, intent on filming a documentary about the dig.

Uncovering a medieval murder mystery makes the tense situation at the dig even tenser. It's the very fresh body in a very old grave that blows it wide open---and tests their relationship for once and for all. For despite ghosts, music, and mayhem, the dig must go on.

Review by: Teri Lester on June 30, 2012 :
I like both Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust. It's a lot of fun because the books take place in the 1980s, making it almost a period piece. No cell phones, no internet - so if you want info, you have to go to a place and look at a piece of paper - it all adds to the suspense and the plot. I am married to a Brit, and I'm pretty neurotic while he's quite well-adjusted, so all the culture-clash (both in country and family experience) is very rich and enjoyable. These are a great mix of mystery, romance and ghostie things.

Review by: Karen on April 09, 2011 :
Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust are both great reads. However, the relationship between Rebecca and Michael is a little too troubling. They're speaking, then they're not speaking. And when they do speak, they're really not working up to a relationship. A little hard to read and a little confusing. But, I did like the books.
