Olmec Obituary

Olmec Obituary is the first novel of L J M Owen and the first in her Intermillennial Sleuth series - series of archaeological mysteries. Dr Elizabeth Pimms is an archaeologist and a librarian who finds herself trying to unravel stories that are thousands of years old.

When her father unexpectedly died, Elizabeth had to return to Australia from Egypt where she had been working as an archaeologist. Her family needed her to help pay the bills and to assist in looking after her young brother so she took a position in a library where her father had worked.

Then she was offered part-time unpaid work investigating skeletons located in a cave in Mexico. The skeletons were possibly three thousand two years old. Elizabeth enjoyed working on this assignment but she soon discovered that all was not well and that some of the information that she had been given was incorrect. Who can she trust to help her unravel the mysteries conveyed in the skeletons of people who had died so many years ago?
