BOOK REVIEW: Be Buried in the Rain by Elizabeth Peters
writing as Barbara Michaels
Some of us would have grown up on Arthur Conan Doyle’s
Sherlock Holmes or even the famed Nancy Drew series. Clouds of mystery
surrounded these books like a storm and always left the reader thirsty for more
clues and more adventures. As we grew, mystery fiction was a vast landscape to
be explored. In that aspect, Be Buried in the Rain is a fantastic mystery book
that will push you over the edge.
There are terrible secrets from generations past buried at
Maidenwood. Medical student Julie Newcomb has returned to her family’s decaying
plantation – the site of so many painful memories – to tend to her tyrannical
grandmother, felled by a stroke.
The fire of malevolence still burns in the cruel, despotic
matriarch’s eyes – yet, for Julie, a faint spark of redemption and second
chances flickers in this hated, haunted place. But her hope – and her life –
are seriously threatened by a nightmare reborn...and by the grim discovery on
the lonely road to Maidenwood of the earth-browned skeletons of a mother and
child.
With an aura of sinister intrigue, this book will keep the
reader spellbound. Besides that, this book is one up for the crime scene alter
ego in all of you. Chock full with techniques on post mortem and all things
grim in crime scene investigation, this tome will set you reeling in amazement
with more than just your ordinary mystery.
