"Mary Anna Evans' sixth Faye Longchamp novel continues her string of elegant mysteries that features one of contemporary fiction's most appealing heroines. The author also continues to seek out and to describe settings and locations that would whet the excavating appetite of any practicing or armchair archaeologist. Mary Anna Evans then commences to weave an almost mystical tapestry of mystery throughout her novel." - Bill Gresens, Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center "Evans explores themes of protection, love, and loss in her absorbing sixth Faye Longchamp mystery...Compelling extracts from a 16th-century Spanish priest's manuscript diary that Faye begins translating lend historical ballast." - Publishers Weekly "Evans' excellent series continues to combine solid mysteries and satisfying historical detail." - Kirkus Reviews "This contemporary mystery is drenched with Florida history and with gothic elements that should appeal to a broad range of readers." - Barbara Bibel, Booklist
