I am reading books with unusual names for the ladies! In this one Lady Alkmene Callender is anyway an unusual lady for her times. Disinterested in marriage and deaf to the match making tricks of all her relations including her father, a visit to an archaeological site is one she cannot resist, in spite of a prospective groom being the bait!
Finding the groom to be a suspect in a murder case does not deter Alkmene who uses all her detective skills to find out who the real culprit is. The fact that she and journalist Jake are also under threat does not deter her at all.
Told in an easy going style, the characters all blend nicely together to tell a story in a very listenable manner.

New to me title but it sounds like a fun read. That is an unusual first name!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an enjoyable tale. I love the heroines name as well!
