"The latest addition to the venerable world of archeological mysteries, Rose Kerr's Death at the Scottish Broch is sure to delight. Canadian academic Mia Reid heads to Scotland's storied Isle of Skye to uncover ancient secrets with an old friend and colleague. But the questions threaten to bury her before she's over her jetlag. Juggling admirable loyalty and responsibility to the university students now under her care, Mia works administrative magic to salvage the threatened excavation. And becomes entrenched in dangerous modern mysteries of the murderous kind. Old legends, international intrigue, mysteries of the heart, and seamless plotting kept me turning the pages." - Mary Feliz, Author of the Maggie McDonald Mysteries

"The author did a great job in staging this whodunit with a well-written and fast-paced mystery that I could not put down until all was said and done. The drama had plenty of suspects and clues were sprinkled throughout for Mia to dig up and piece together. The narrative was visually descriptive, and I felt I was part of the non-stop action as Mia and her friends sought the identity of the perpetrators. There were several twists and turns, especially when I thought I knew who was behind the caper, and yet once the author changed directions it became clear that a better story and motive lay with another suspect. Overall, a terrific start to this new series." - Dru Ann Love, 2017 Raven Award, 2024 Macavity, Anthony, and Agatha Winner, Author Champion, Book Advocate
