Archaeologist Sage Westfield has been called in to excavate a sixteenth-century well, and expects to find little more than soil and the odd piece of pottery. But the disturbing discovery of the bones of a woman and newborn baby make it clear that she has stumbled onto an historical crime scene, one that is interwoven with an unsettling local legend of witchcraft and unrequited love. Yet there is more to the case than a four-hundred-year-old mystery. The owners of a nearby cottage are convinced that it is haunted, and the local vicar is being plagued with abusive phone calls. Then a tragic death makes it all too clear that a modern murderer is at work.

A Baby’s Bones submitted by sara on June 19, 2020, 12:35pm I liked the premise, but it took too long to tell the story. And, one of my pet peeves about writers: the nine-year-old girl spoke like a toddler and was picked up and carried into the house by her mother. Imagine!
