The Body at the Roman Baths

 The Body at the Roman Baths

A Georgina Drake Mystery #5

Kate Hardy



Reviewed by Helen


Excitement is growing at Little Wenborough Manor the home of lord and Lady Wyatt better known as Sybbie and Bernard when the remains of a roman bath have been discovered this dig was started after an archeologist, Trish had discovered that her great, great, great, great uncle had also discovered this over one hundred years ago now the mosaic floor has been uncovered for a second time, Georgie has been asked to photograph it but when the tarpaulin is pulled back there is a body and it is that of the head archeologist, Simon.

Georgina again finds herself investigating another death and without her trusty dog Bert there to dig up old bones, could there be only one murder this time when her friendly ghost Doris arrives by her side telling her that there is another mystery all those years ago when archeologist Trish’s uncle disappeared and it looks very much like he was murdered, will Georgie with the help of Doris discover the truth about the heritage death and Georgie’s partner DI Colin Bradshaw get to the bottom of the current death?

The more Georgie digs the more there appears to be a link between the past and present here at Little Wenborough Manor what’s more with Georgie and Colin’s relationship getting stronger maybe it is time for Georgie to open up about Doris to a Colin and her friends but how will that turn out?

This is another fabulous story in this series, I love Georgie, Doris, Colin, Bert as well as the other fabulous characters that all add to the story, it is engaging and had me thinking I do highly recommend this one and the series and I can’t wait for the next book in the series and to see where Kate Hardy Takes Georgie and Doris.

My thanks to Storm Publishing and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
