The Body at the Roman Baths

A Georgina Drake Mystery, Book 5

Georgina Drake is thrilled to photograph the ancient mosaic uncovered at Little Wenborough Manor. But her excitement turns to shock when she finds the lead archaeologist dead on the floor. Instead of ancient secrets, Georgina is soon caught up in a very modern murder. Comforting the other distressed archaeologists, Georgina discovers this isn't the first time tragedy has struck this site. Over a century ago a young Victorian scholar vanished without trace during the original dig, leaving behind a devastated fiancée and a trail of unanswered questions.

As Georgina delves into both mysteries, she discovers surprising connections between past and present. With help from her friends, she pieces together a story of forbidden love, blackmail, and betrayal. But someone in the village would prefer these secrets stay buried, and she'll need all her wits to catch a killer before they strike again. . .
