A Shroud of Leaves
A Shroud of Leaves | Rebecca Alexander
2 posts | 2 read
"Finely observed beautifully written" Daily Mail on The Secrets of Life and Death Archaeologist Sage Westfield has her first forensics case: investigating the murder of a teenage girl. Hidden by holly leaves, the girl's body has been discovered on the grounds of a stately home, where another teenage girl went missing twenty years ago - but her body was never found. With mysterious links between the two disappearances, the police suspect the reclusive owner, Alistair Chorleigh, who was questioned twenty years ago but never charged. But when Sage investigates a nearby burial mound - and uncovers rumours of an ancient curse - she discovers the story of Edwin Masters, his friend Peter Chorleigh, and an excavation over a hundred years ago, that also ended in a mysterious disappearance. Still recovering from the traumatic events of her recent past, Sage will need both her modern forensics skills and her historical archaeological knowledge to unearth the devastating truth.

Well done! Two stories in one book, not quite parallel, and both were great. Rang true on both ends. Murders and questions. Archeology woven into the story. A bit traumatic in a couple spots, but the queasiness is an added chill. It seems out of place when you first hit the trauma, but it ties into the story quite well and it‘s not out of place. A great Little Free Library find! Thank you to whoever left it for me to find! 😁
