Written in Stone by Paige Shelton ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

When Delaney wins a special Hidden Door Festival invitation to artist Ryory Bennigan's studio, she isn’t sure quite what to expect. What she finds is an elusive fellow obsessed with the Picts—complete with his own versions of their blue tattoos and vibrant red hair—recreating the stones they left behind. She also meets a visiting paleontologist, Dr. Adam Pace, from the University of Kansas attempting to sell an artifact that might just explain what the Picts' language really sounded like.

Or at least that’s what he claimed the artifact was for. Before the deal can close and Ryory can get a closer look at it, Dr. Pace is found dead.

Off the Beaten Path: A Stone's Throw Mystery by Eloise Corvo ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

Off the Beaten Path is the first book of a new series by Eloise Corvo.  Based on book 1, it's going to be an interesting and exciting series to read.  The characters are all written and very likable and the mystery kept me guessing until almost the end.  Every time that I thought I figured out who the 'bad guy' was, there were more facts presented that proved how wrong I really was.
