A woman's head is found in an Irish bog. Who is she and why was she beheaded? Cormac Macguire and Nora Gavin must find out. But obviously, someone doesn't want them there. Does this have something to do with the bog woman or with the missing wife and son of a local man?
An excellent mystery that incorporates Ireland's history as well as modern Ireland. The book's plot is solid and the writing is so clear that it makes you feel like you know the little village even if you have never been to Ireland.

Archaeology, bog bodies, Irish lore and a fascinating mystery: all in one tightly written novel. This was a fun read and full of interesting tidbits. Modern and at the same time classic.

Erin Hart's first novel keeps your interest from the start. The story moves right along and makes it hard to put down.

I've had this book on my shelf for awhile now,and only wished I had read it sooner,I loved it. Beautifully written and full of twist and turns. I learned a lot about Ireland and the bogs which I didn't know. The book kept my interest from start to finish.I will definitely read more by this author. Great book!

I couldn't get past chapter 3. The premise was great, but the writing was sluggish and dull. I am going to try the CD version. Hopefully the narrator will be able to bring this one to life.

Good premise with a lot of potential. Unfortunately I found the writing to be disjointed at times, and had trouble keeping track of or and keeping interest in the characters.
Intersting enough mystery, but overall rather bland. Definitely read like a first book.
