Elizabeth Peters earned her Ph.D. in Egyptology from the University of Chicago's famed Oriental Institute. She was named Grand Master at the inaugural Anthony Awards in 1986 and Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America in 1998. In 2003, she received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Malice Domestic Convention. She lives in a historic farmhouse in western Maryland.
Author Elizabeth Peters has written over twenty-five mysteries, also using the pseudonym Barbara Michaels. Her works are known to many of us from the Amelia Peabody Emerson series set in Egypt. Here we have a short, placid mystery set in Scotland, where a young woman becomes entangled in murder. Grace Conlin's narration conveys the foreign atmosphere that surrounds the history and legend embodied in the story. Her voice captures each scene and character with appealing accents and emotions.
