Synopsis

Georgina Drake is thrilled to photograph the ancient mosaic uncovered at Little Wenborough Manor. But her excitement turns to shock when she finds the lead archaeologist dead on the floor. Instead of ancient secrets, Georgina is soon caught up in a very modern murder. Comforting the other distressed archaeologists, Georgina discovers this isn't the first time tragedy has struck this site. Over a century ago a young Victorian scholar vanished without trace during the original dig, leaving behind a devastated fiancée and a trail of unanswered questions. As Georgina delves into both mysteries, she discovers surprising connections between past and present. With help from her friends, she pieces together a story of forbidden love, blackmail, and betrayal. But someone in the village would prefer these secrets stay buried, and she'll need all her wits to catch a killer before they strike again. . .

About Kate Hardy

Kate’s written for as long as she can remember; it started with stories about ponies and dogs, moved into ghosts and history, and then into local history and romance. She’s won three Romantic Novelists’ Association awards for her romantic fiction – and is thoroughly enjoying her new life of crime! She lives in Norwich with her husband, two grown-up children, two spaniels and too many books to count. When she’s not writing or researching, she’ll be out at a gig or the theatre, at ballet class, doing cross-stitch, taking photographs of the sunrise while persuading the spaniels to stay still for one second, fossicking around on a beach or in archives, or exploring ancient buildings. She loves learning new things, which is why you’ll always discover something different in a Kate Hardy book. Oh - and, like her heroine Georgina Drake, Kate's deaf but doesn't let it hold her back in any way.

It was the setting that had me picking up this cozy mystery by new-to-me author Kate Hardy. A murder at the site of an uncovered Roman baths? Intriguing! Plus, the author combines a present-day murder mystery with a past one which makes for two crimes for the price of one. The Body at the Roman Bath......more

Another good entry in the Georgina Drake mysteries. As with all the others, this features a current murder (at an archaeological excavation of a Roman bath) and a cold case. Finally, Georgie decides to tell Colin (and others in her life) about Doris, the ghost who speaks to Georgie through her heari......more

Goodreads review by M.J. on January 22, 2025

The Body at the Roman Baths is the first book by the author I've read. I was drawn to it because of the title. Our two main characters are quite fun, but starting with book 5 in a series does mean a lot has gone on that I don't know about. However, I was happy to accept they were a couple and move on......more
