Mayan Mendacity
Mayan Mendacity | L. J. M. Owen
2 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Dr Elizabeth Pimms has a new puzzle. What is the story behind the tiny skeletons discovered on a Guatemalan island? And how do they relate to an ancient Mayan queen? The bones, along with other remains, are a gift for Elizabeth. But soon the giver reveals his true nature. An enraged colleague then questions Elizabeth's family history. Elizabeth seeks DNA evidence to put all skeletons to rest. A pregnant enemy, a crystal skull, a New York foodie, and an intruder in Elizabeth's phrenic library variously aid or interrupt Elizabeth's attempts to solve mysteries both ancient and personal. With archaeological intrigue, forensic insight and cosy comfort, Mayan Mendacity takes readers back into the world of Dr Pimms, Intermillennial Sleuth. Really cold cases

I raced through this one! Once again, an enjoyable, academically-minded but fun read about Dr Elizabeth Pimms's weekend archaeological work. One or two little things irritate me sometimes, but overall I'm a huge fan and can't wait for Egyptian Enigma!

MuddyPuddle The covers for these are cool. Would you consider them cozy mysteries? 6y
MommyWantsToReadHerBook Yes, definitely cozy mysteries - she solves puzzles about the remains she works on, and also some puzzling events in her own life, but yeah, no deaths or crime in her own life 😊 6y
