FIVE STARS! "Never a dull moment in any chapter of this work!" -Readers' Favorite Josiah is joined by Shaneika, and her sweet, innocent cousin, Heather, on an archaeological dig at Fort Boonesborough where Daniel Boone led pioneers to the wild frontier of “Caintuck.” At Boonesborough Josiah and Shaneika meet the Dane twins, rich society women, who just rub them the wrong way. However, Heather is entranced by the sisters, having read about them in the society columns and financial pages. That is until Heather catches one of them plotting to murder her identical twin. But which twin is planning to murder the other? Heather can’t tell them apart. She tells Josiah what she witnessed, hoping our intrepid sleuth will intervene. Josiah is unable to prevent the murder, but soon discovers Heather is neither sweet nor innocent and might have a motive for lying about the Dane sisters. As Josiah does some digging of her own, it turns out other participants on the excavation also have motives for murder. Josiah searches for truth in a land that hides its secrets well in soil soaked with the blood of innocents and scoundrels alike. Kentucky is not called the “dark and bloody ground” for nothing.

"Once again, I took my time reading the book,not wanting it to end. I'm impatiently waiting for the next adventure!" -Jerri Cachero, Diva Mystery Reviews "This is a well-written cozy, the mystery swirling around many suspects. The characters are deftly drawn and I really enjoy the relationship of Josiah and Shaneika, who communicate more like siblings with sarcasm, but always with love. There are twists and turns that kept me guessing until the surprising conclusion. Although 15th in the series, this is easily read as stand alone." -Linda's Book Reviews FIVE STARS!
