Em Hansen, the popular heroine at the center of Sarah Andrews's unique geology mystery series, has landed a new job, although an unusual one: a client affiliated with a museum wants Em to investigate a painting by the famed western painter Frederick Remington. The client believes it's a fake, but Em must explore the painting's provenance to find out. The project takes her through Wyoming, Utah, Washington DC and Pennsylvania, and halfway through the trip Em finds she's also chasing a murderer: someone seems to be slowly poisoning her client's family. Before long, her innocent research project has taken a sinister twist, and it's up to Em to find out what's going on in time to save her own skin.

Book's looking for new friends at Edinburgh Book Fair! Happy reading to the finder!

Caught at the Book festival meet up. Thank you!

This was actually the one I began reading first after the meet up last week. I didn't finish it though. I found it really hard t war to the main character and I was at least a third of the way through and the murder was still to occur. We were hearing more about the main characters many dysfunctional relationships. Oh well, you can't win them all. If his isn't picked up at the Book festival met up today I will wild release so it can find a more appreciative reader.

Hoping that's me, " a more appreciative reader"? Time will tell!

Picked this up at the second local BookCrossers Meet-Up, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Saturday yesterday. Extremely, thrilled, in a jumping for joy way, when after deciding to take this book I realised you Pippis had left it amongst this band of Scottish BookCrossers and that was why it was on our table. Doubly exciting as I managed to miss meeting you last Sunday, at the first Book Festival Meet-Up of BookCrossers.

I also want to wave virtually in passing to bookfrogster! No surprise you gave this book a onceover as it looks like it could be the type of crime thriller to appeal to fans of Amanda Cross or Nevada Barr both of whom we have read and enjoyed. OK I've delayed completing my 'caught' JE's after the meeting as I started reading this, so I best finish and go to sleep! Thanks all, cheers rainbow3.
