eBook Description: Matilda Gray is an expert on antiquities, especially the Roman and Celtic artifacts found in Great Britain. But Matilda has learned that such relics of time past are not valued only by museums but also by unscrupulous collectors. Looking too closely into the illegal trade in these treasures can be dangerous, even deadly. Gareth March is a Scotland Yard detective who must work with Matilda to solve the murder of a woman who knew too much about stolen antiquities. Solving the murder will earn him a promotion. And more--perhaps a greater treasure than Celtic gold is a relationship appearing when he least expects it, if he can only let down his guard and learn to trust. Caught up in the investigation is lovely young Ashley Walraven, an American student who is excavating a Roman fort. But Ashley discovers more than historical artifacts when she meets Nick, a dark and handsome young man hiding a dark and disturbing secret. The murder case, the case of the stolen antiquities, and the treasure coming to light at the excavation are all tied inextricably together. But there are too many people caught in the knots for Gareth and Matilda's comfort, among them the archaeologist in charge of the dig, the belligerent owner of a nearby horse farm, his mousy wife, an elegant dealer in antiquities, and the dealer's street-tough assistant. At last Matilda and Gareth have to stop arguing about the case and begin a race against time to prevent another murder. They do, after all, agree on one thing: the risk of death makes life and love all the sweeter. There's always time enough to die.

"Time Enough to Die is a delightfully written and well-constructed murder story, set in the present day against a backdrop of Roman Britain and Druid rites, with a pleasingly accurate use of colloquial English! Boudicca--or as I knew her, Boadicea--rides again."--Anne Perry, author of Southampton Row
"A high spirited, atmospheric mystery with memorable characters. Lillian Stewart Carl always gives her readers something extra. In Time Enough to Die she deftly disperses paranormal elements throughout her intelligent, entertaining whodunit."--Denise Dietz, author of Fifty Cents for Your Soul "Time Enough to Die is a wonderful piece of entertainment with a great truth at its core. Carl's skill in bringing her characters to life, those sympathetic and those just pathetic, is remarkable. She is a writer of great complexity and charm."--Charlaine Harris, author of Dead Until Dark "In Time Enough to Die, Carl has successfully blended the British police procedural with elements of the archaeological and paranormal mystery subgenres into something inimitably her own and thoroughly enjoyable. She can't write fast enough for me!"--Dean James, author of Posted to Death "Time Enough to Die is an entertaining, spine-tingling romp in the tradition of Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels at their best."--Deborah Crombie, author of And Justice There Is None "Once again, Lillian Stewart Carl takes history and archeology and crafts them into a satisfying tale sure to please fans of all mystery persuasions. Time Enough to Die provides readers with absorbing characters, richly detailed descriptions of the dig and its environs, and, finally, a rousing good puzzle that will keep readers guessing whodunit till almost the end of the book. I highly recommend this book to not only fans of paranormal mysteries, but to anyone who enjoys a well thought out and written novel."--Teri Smith, Crescent Blues "Take a town in England, interesting history, the spirits of a Roman couple and a Celtic woman, a hint of romance, the threat of death, a suspenseful conclusion, mix them together and you have a very good read. I appreciated that neither the romance nor the parapsychology overwhelmed the basic investigation of a murder and thefts. The characters were human and fallible. I'd say this is one of Carl's best books."--L.J. Roberts, DorothyL e-group
