In this fifth entry in the series Lara McClintoch leads an antiques and archaeology tour to Tunisia. She must deal with a mixed bag of tourists: a spoiled teenager, a famous model, a snoop, a blackmailing journalist and the list goes on. The story of a Carthaginian merchant ship that sank over two thousand years ago has stirred everyone's imagination and some with murderous intent. Sure enough death hits the group and a mystery must be solved. There is a lot of interesting information about Carthage and the Punic wars woven into the story as Lara tries to cope with a very diverse group of people.

The archaeological mysteries give you the chance to learn interesting facts and travel the world without leaving your cozy armchair. I love them!

New Series for me and I loved it. This is an Archaeological Mystery set in Tunisia. Lara McClintoch, owner of a Toronto antiques store, takes a group of people on a shopping and educational tour of Tunisia. There are two sets of dive companies looking for treasure in the bay, danger, murder...all the things necessary to a good mystery. Interesting history thrown in and even a tiny bit of subtle romance.

The attractive and intelligent Lara McClintoch, travelling antiques dealer from Toronto, leads her shop's first-ever tour. Billed as an antiques and archeology trip to Tunisia, the tour soon runs into trouble as greed is ignited by the possibility of a fabulous sunken treasure, and tour members are murdered.
