grave-goods-franklinI’ve had some real life stuff going on that has delayed my plans to have a review up for this book on its release day. My apolo­gies. I am work­ing on it. Mean­while, I will go ahead and offer up a give­away of the ARC that I have for GRAVE GOODS by Ari­ana Franklin which fea­tures Adelia Aguilar, a foren­sic sci­en­tist in 12th Cen­tury Eng­land. She is a woman well ahead of her time. This is the third book in the series, the first two books are Mist­ess of the Art of Death and The Serpent’s Tale.

In this entry Adelia is asked by King Henry II to inves­ti­gate a bard’s claim of a hid­den grave that may have the remains of King Arthur and Guin­ev­erre that his uncle saw in a “vision” in Glas­ton­bury. King Henry wants Adelia to authen­ti­cate the bones to squash the Welsh rebel­lion. Adelia uti­lizes the skills that has made her the “Mis­tress of the Art of Death” by giv­ing Henry II the peace that he wants while also solv­ing the mys­tery of some miss­ing companions.
