WHERE OLD BONES LIE

This mystery is one of British author Ann Granger's popular series featuring Superintendent Markby and Meredith Mitchell. Centered on an archaeological dig in the Cotswalds, the story features a cast of local and transient eccentrics. False clues abound, but are, of course, ultimately sorted out. Narrator Judith Boyd provides a competent and pleasurable reading. Her mastery of the diverse set of voices is uneven, with some consistently better than others. But her hesitancy is not confusing; one always knows who is speaking. Fans of the Markby/Mitchell team will find this to be an excellent addition to the series. R.E.K.
