Lake of Sorrows

By: Erin M. Hart

Narrated by: Jennifer McMahon

In this gripping follow-up to her sensational debut, Haunted Ground, Erin Hart delves into Ireland's mysterious peat bogs to create a stunning tale of deception and murder. Pathologist Nora Gavin arrives at a desolate industrial site in the Irish midlands, a place known as the Lake of Sorrows, where workers have just unearthed a long-buried body. But moments after her arrival a much more recent victim is discovered. Like the ancient body, the new corpse bears multiple wounds, suggesting the ritual sacrifice of Ireland's blood-soaked pagan past. Nora and archaeologist Cormac Maguire, caught up in a tumultuous love affair, must team up again professionally, and are soon enmeshed in the web of tangled desires and terrible secrets that surround this mysterious death. Illicit liaisons, rumors of ancient gold and vengeance fuel the mounting danger.©2004 Erin Hart; (P)2004 Books on Tape, Inc.

Second book by Ms. Hart

I have really enjoyed both of her books. the bogs who knew how fascination and how much I did now know!

Interesting & educational!

Loved this book for the interesting story line and wonderful performance. Also enjoyed the history lesson which was enhanced by my recent trip to Ireland and the Archeological Museum in Dublin. No need to have been to Ireland to enjoy this tale, you will feel like you are there with the rich descriptions of the land and the bogs.

A little long, lots of twists and turns

Liked the story, but got frustrated with the behavior of the main characters. They needed to follow the rules, not just do their own thing!

Great book

Enjoyed book2 lots of twists and turns. Moving on to the next to see what Nora gets into.

Wonderful!!

Erin Hart does a grand job of developing this mystery with characters from The Haunted Ground. In this stand alone novel, you learn more about bog bodies and black market antiquities. You also learn a bit about historical beliefs and the Irish countryside. The narrator has a terrific Irish accent and you can easily identify the various characters as the story unwinds. My only mnor complaint is that the "conflict" between the two main characters is frequently mentioned and I'd just as soon relegate it to lesser importance or get on with the happy ever after. (I am a romantic at heart). I was sorry to have it end especially since the next novel is not due out for awhile.
