Back of book: Now in her late twenties, Iris seems secure in her profession as a physcial anthropologist currently investigating an ancient Mayan tomb. But when she was just a young child her mother disappeared - and her father has recently been hospitalised after an inexplicable assault.
Iris is about to be caught up in a web of lies and betrayal where nothing is exactly as it seems.....and where even falling in love is dangerous.
Only through piecing together the shattered remains of the past will she begin to understand the tragic mysteries of the present. But in unearthing the truth she will uncover shocking evidence of unpunished crimes and fatal passions....
And set loose malevolent forces that will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
This was a very exciting suspense story - one of those where you could not put it down, but you needed to keep reading it as it was easy to lose the plot. I felt that some parts of the plot were left abruptly within the story and it wasn't to the very end that all the pieces fitted together, but I found myself having to re read some pages again to see how the did pieces fit together. There was one character that just happened to be one of the main characters, but little was said about him throughout the story until the last 30 or so pages. A lot of action throughout - I would give 4/5.
No doubt if I was able to read this within seven days rather than 14 days it took me, then I would have enjoyed it more. Most certainly read another by this author.
