MY REVIEW

Stig Abell, the Author of “The Burial Place” has written a captivating and intriguing novel. The Genres for this novel are Mystery, Crime, Fiction, Archeology, Detective, Contemporary, Private Investigator, Suspense, and Thrillers. In this well written mystery, the author vividly describes the archeological digs, the beautiful landscape and scenery and the dramatic, complex and complicated characters. This is the third in a series, and can be read alone. The main male protagonist, Jake Jackson finds his retirement in the countryside interrupted when there is a previous case is brought to his attention. There is a group of people at the Archeology dig site, and threatening letters signed with Wulfnoth keep materializing. There are treasures and remnants from an old Roman Settlement. Several people will share the money from the treasures, with some of the land to be believed to be from the Church.

First, there are accidents, threats, danger, and then murder. Jake is there to investigate what is going on. Several characters are suspect, and there are twists and turns. There are surprises, and loads of suspense in this edgy story, which I highly recommend.
