If someone told me this was really authored by someone else, I'd be inclined to believe them. It had a different beginning, and a different feel throughout. I've read a lot of Stewart and know she has the talent to do this, so I'll not claim it was someone else.
This balanced just about everything well. The archaeology, the characters, the murders, and the "romance" (every one of her FBI books has to have romance, whether you want it or not. One place I really did not like it- More...

I love Mariah Stewart's novels and this newly released, was no disappointment!! Can hardly wait for the next novel, 'MERCY STREET' to hit store shelves. I've read all her books to date.

Easy read mystery/romance. Daria prepares to set up a museum display of her great grandfather's archeological diggings, only to find that some are missing. She contacts Connor, the eventual love interest and member of the FBI, and, in their search for the stolen artifacts, they begin to find that people who had one of the artifacts in their private collections were being murdered. And so they set out to solve the murders. They do, and live happily ever after.

this book was such a bore i only got 3/4 of the way through before giving up. the characters were 2 dimensional and not in the least engaging. they were stuck up and stuffy and made the poorest choices known to man. situations and reactions were totally unbelievable. the 2 stars are only because the book might not be as bad as i think, maybe i was just having an off day.

An archaeologist, Dr. Daria McGowan, is preparing an exhibit of her late great-grandfather's artifacts. She finds that some of the pieces are missing. Daria works with FBI agent Connor Shields to track them down. What they find is that the owners of the items have been gruesomely murdered in a ritualistic way. They have to race to prevent the murders of the remaining owners, recover the remaining artifacts, and uncover a killer. The cover of this book says it is a suspense but my library ha

I loved the archeological reference in this book, right up my alley! I liked the book overall, found it a bit predictable, but a good way to pass the time. If I was looking for suspense, I would have been disappointed. I would read this author again.

Yes, I liked it -- unfortunately, I guessed the "bad guy" almost from the beginning -- if it was that obvious to me, then it should have been so to the FBI -- right?!?!?

This was the last book in this trilogy, and I thought it was by far the best one. In my opinion, the story line was much more interesting and compelling than the first two books.

Detective/love story with some archeology. I was hoping for more of a detective story than love story, but the mystery was way too easy to see through.

I expected more of Conner's story. It was enjoyable but my least favorite of the Mariah Stewart books I have read thus far.

Ok read. Some interesting archeological elements. However, I know this is kind of silly but it bothers me that the name or cover art don't seem to relate to the story.

This had such potential...but the characters were just so bad. Daria, the main character came across as a real ding-bat and not like a world-traveled archeologist.

This was a good suspense novel, and well written. I liked the archaeology theme. However, I just felt like there was something missing - maybe a spark between the characters, or something. I enjoy books that make me think about them for a while after reading them...books where I turn the characters and storyline over in my head for hours afterwards, wondering about them. This book just didn't do that for me, although I liked it and it was entertaining.

Sigh. On the surface this is an enjoyable romantic suspense novel by an author who has turned out several excellent ones. But, the main charactes made so many incredibly stupid decisions and/or professional no-nos that suspending disbelief became impossible. I finished it, but it left an unpleasant taste in my mouth.

romantic suspense. I liked the college atmosphere & archeological info. I will read more by this author when I run out of new books to read.... Just happened to pick this one off the new shelf or a display, I forget which.

I like Stewart's books but I wasn't as interested in this plot as most of her books. It was a quick easy read and did keep my interest.

We finally got Conner's story, sort of. I enjoyed the archeological aspects, but the story left me flat.
