Mystery Series with Anthropology Theme or with Native American Artifacts in a Western State…

September 13, 2011

Here’s another stumper. Sara asked for help identifying this mystery series before, and just posted a comment mentioning that she is still looking for the author:

I’m trying to recall the author of this series, and would appreciate help from you and your readers. IF I remember it correctly, it’s a series that came out at least since 1996 (or later) in which a female who works either in anthropology or with Native American artifacts in a western U.S. state. She found clues to a hidden mine (gold or silver maybe???) and one of the books had a really old map in it that she traced. I think there were at least three books or more in the series. Any clues? Thanks. SARA

Please post a comment if you think you might know the author of this mystery series. Thank you!

Sarah Graves’ Crawlspace…

September 12, 2011

Here’s a quick question from Sandy:

“I am currently reading Sarah Graves’ Crawlspace and I have a question that maybe you or one of your readers can answer: why did Jacobias’ long lost father and (dead) ex-husband have the same last name? I know it’s silly to wonder and possibly it was explained in an earlier book and I just forgot (I’ve read them all over the years) but it just bugs me…”

If you have the answer, would you please post a comment for Sandy. Thank you!

Mystery Book Set In British Girls’ Boarding School with Ghost of a Teacher…

August 31, 2011

Aha, so here is another request for the name of an author who Tessa is trying to find:

I am looking for the name of an author in order to see if she has added anymore titles to a series. The first book was set at a boarding school for young ladies. The first murder was of one of the teachers, who returns as a ghost. Another teacher is the “detector”. It was definitely set in England, though I can’t recall the area.

We usually have a good success rate with the Cozy Mystery site readers’ questions, so here’s hoping you all might have the answer. If you do, please post a comment. Thank you!
