Death Takes a Bath: A Cotswold Crimes Mystery

When Maddie McGuire lands an archeology internship at the Roman Baths in England, she assumes everything will go her way. But when this college sophomore discovers a severed human ear on her doorstep, she must solve its meaning before she becomes the next victim, or worse, gets deported. Her tentative friendship with young constable Edward Bailey and the beauty of the Bath Abbey are no comfort as her aristocratic coworker Simon Pacock sabotages her every move. And the danger only increases when she discovers a dead body, both ears intact.

Praise for Death Takes a Bath:

"A whale of a read! Dip your toe into Death Takes a Bath and you won't come out until you've reached 'the end." A highly recommended page-turner with archaeology, intrigue, an intrepid heroine, a dishy policeman, and...a rabbit."- Molly MacRae, The Highland Bookshop Mystery Series

“Fantastic! A charming, witty, and exciting mystery! - Waterstones Review

Bubble, bubble, Maddie McGuire has nothing but trouble at her internship in Bath, England. In Sharon Lynn’s first in the Cotswold Crimes series, Maddie must combine American spirit with an English stiff upper lip to prevail over the pitfalls awaiting her in every dark corner. Lynn’s characters bring the right ingredients to the story: Maddie’s spunk, Tori’s sass, Simon’s arrogance, and Edward’s toughness keep the mystery moving along the narrow brick streets of Bath. I enjoyed Lynn’s depiction of the history of the baths and loveliness of the English countryside that left me yearning for afternoon tea and cakes and anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. - Joy Ribar, author of the Deep Lakes cozies

Absolutely brilliant! Great twist you won’t see coming, lovable characters you can’t help but root for, and a sweet love story. It makes you feel like you are in Bath solving the mystery. - Amazon Review

"An exciting page-turner! It captured my attention from the first line and kept me riveted until the final twist." -Avanti Centrae, international bestselling author of Cleopatra's Vendetta

"What could go wrong with Maddie McGuire's archeology internship? As it turns out, lots! But Maddie's knowledge of putlogs, block and tackle systems, and her bright red bra help save the day. With perfect pacing and clever plot twists, I especially enjoyed the burgeoning relationship between Maddie and Constable Bailey and look forward to more of their adventures.." —Laurie Buchanan, author of the Sean McPherson crime thriller novels
