This was another fun Elizabeth MacPherson mystery by Sharon McCrumb. It takes place in Scotland, mostly on a small deserted island. Several people, including her heroine Elizabeth MacPherson, are there participating in an archaeological dig. Unfortunately, accidents happen and they start to die.
I admit to being proud of myself, in that I figured out who the killer was before McCrumb started laying out the clues. I even figured out how the killer killed. But this was only because McCrumb borrowed a plot twist from the very first Agatha Christie book (and mystery) that I ever read as a young boy. I won't tell you the title of the Christie book, but I did give you a clue above.
