37. Be Buried in the Rain by Elizabeth Peters writing as Barbara Michaels


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.
