Description
Archaeologist Dr Elizabeth Pimms thoroughly enjoys digging up old skeletons. But when she is called home from Egypt after a family loss, she has to sacrifice her passions for the sake of those around her.
Attempting to settle into her new role as a librarian, while also missing her boyfriend, Elizabeth is distracted from her woes by a new mystery: a royal Olmec cemetery, discovered deep in the Mexican jungle, with a 3000-year-old ballplayer who just might be a woman. She soon discovers there are more skeletons to deal with than those covered in dirt and dust.
Olmec Obituary is the first novel in a delightful cosy crime series: Dr Pimms, Intermillennial Sleuth. Really cold cases.

Advance Praise
Owen has struck a lovely balance between compelling drama / mystery
and relaxing digestibility—Olmec Obituary is
the thinking person’s cosy mystery. Thankfully this is only the first title in
a planned Dr Pimms, Intermillennial Sleuth Series. I look forward to seeing the
mysterious back-stories and romantic seeds L.J.M. Owen has sown … blossom in Mayan Mendacity (Book
2) and Alexandrian
Athenaeum (Book 3). –
BOOKLOVER BOOK REVIEWS
Refreshingly, there are no car chases, no raids with guns drawn,
no lurid sex scenes. The chase for the truth is an intellectual one; the hunt
is for facts, not fabrications. – ARTSHUB.COM
… at the cosy end of the crime market, with a lot of time spent on
multicultural family, food, friends and a touch of romance. – COURIER MAIL
