I was invited by the publisher to review this book. This is book five in the Georgina Drake mystery series, where Georgina finds herself photographing an ancient Roman mosaic...and discovering the archeologist dead at the site. Curiously, at the site during the Victorian era, a scholar vanished during a dig and no one ever learned what truly happened. Georgina looks into both mysteries and notices some connections, but while she does that she also stokes the ire of someone who wants all of those connections to remain unknown.

The only thing I would have liked more of, was more writing in this book! It was an interesting and detailed plot, and I loved how the author tied in the past mystery with the present - this was a fun and unique spin for me, personally. Another element of the book that I found fun were the secondary characters; everyone blended well together and I found them all interesting.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A great exciting read at an exciting setting. When Georgina is off to a dig site to photograph ancient findings, she instead finds her lead archeologist dead. But he is not thr only one, this was also thr site of an old unsolved murder. With her team in tow, Georgina solve the past and the present with her pluck and intelligence. This is a great series thus far, it's well written and has plenty of twists and turns to keep it exciting.

Thank you to Storm Publishing and Netgalley for the arc.
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.
Yet she also finds out about an historic murder back in the late 1880's, could they be linked?
This was an intriguing read that was both compelling and interesting.
The author's writing is exemplary and with a very tight plot.
It's definitely an enjoyable read, although the last couple of chapters as the wrap up did seem to deviate from the natural flow and appeared as wrap up paragraphs which did throw me.
Overall a brilliant plot with a twist at the end.
