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
