Sintesi dell'editore

Archaeologist Faye Longchamp and her friend Joe Wolf Mantooth have traveled to Neshoba County, Mississippi, to help excavate a site near Nanih Waiya, the sacred mound where tradition says the Choctaw Nation was born. When farmer Carroll Calhoun refuses their request to investigate a nearby mound on his land, Faye and her colleagues are disappointed, but his next action breaks their hearts: He tries to bulldoze the huge relic to the ground. Faye and Joe rush to protect history - with their bodies, if necessary.

Soon the Choctaws arrive to defend the mound, and the farmer’s white and black neighbors come to defend his property rights. Though a popular young sheriff is able to defuse the situation, tempers are short.

But then that night, Calhoun is found dead, his throat sliced with a handmade stone blade. Was he killed by an archaeologist angered by his wanton destruction of history? Or, since local farmers have been plowing up stone tools like the murder weapon for centuries, did one of them take this chance to even the score with an old rival?

The sheriff is well aware that Faye and Joe were near the spot where Calhoun’s body was found and that their combined knowledge of stone tools is impressive. They had motive, means, and opportunity - but so does almost everyone in Neshoba County.

Mary Anna Evans has degrees in physics and engineering. She is the author of the award-winning Faye Longchamp mysteries.

“We mystery lovers who’ve enjoyed Artifacts and then decided that Relics was even better may not believe this but Ms. Evans has done it again, and Effigies is the best one yet. Again, she makes a lesson in our past a fascinating read.” (Tony Hillerman, New York Times best-selling author)
“In all three of Faye Longchamp's adventures, Mary Anna Evans has given us insights into little-known aspects of America’s past. As an archeological tour alone, the book would be worth reading, but it’s the fascinating and complex characters that give the story life and vibrancy.” (Rhys Bowen, Anthony and Agatha award-winning author)
“Though Evans has been compared to Tony Hillerman, her sympathetic characters and fascinating archeological lore add up to a style all her own.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Read!

Imaginative and fun to read (listen to). It is fascinating and fun to learn about archeology, Mississippi's landscape, the South's and Native American peoples' culture, traditions and folk tales as Mrs. Evens takes us on Faye's imaginary journey and discoveries. The author's experiences as a Mississipian, as well as extensive research into the past and current history of the before mentioned groups of people and places played an integral part in making this story believable. Together the story, the characters and the narrator draw the listener into the imaginary setting and allow them to use critical thinking and fantasy as they try to solve the mystery and picture the events and happenings as they unfold. I enjoyed this book very much and look forward to reading the next book in the series.

De-evolution

Time to bow out of this series. This one devolved into socio-political woke-ism in a hurry. Author has dropped bits here and there in previous books too, but this one went full ‘racist’ (said with fake scary theatric tone).
Public Service Announcement: Comparing different societies doesn’t have to be racist, math isn’t racist, being in time isn’t racist.
In reality, there is no pure blood any more, so who deserves reparation for things done generations or centuries ago, and who would deserve to pay it? I look white (automatic racist), but have Native American, African, AND European ancestry. I’ll just pay myself and hate myself.
We read/listen to fiction to escape all the crap of daily life. Shame on you for forcing it down our throats in one of the few guiltless escapes left. Grow up

Incredible series

Absolutely addicting. The incredible history of different ethical populations, especially the first Americans, INDIANS, and the answers to readers questions about what is real and what is not in the beginning of next book is so awesome.

Another interesting story

Once again Mary Anna Evans has mixed fact with fiction to write a gripping story. I especially love the author’s notes at the end which explained how much was fact, how much fiction and how much may be true. I also loved the Indian Legends.

Wonderful Mystery

I love the mysteries written by Ms.Evens. The story line is very gripping, the characters are very strong, and the narrator's voice is pleasing.

Fantastic!!

I could not stop listening to this book! I love how the author combines legends of the Choctaw people into this book, as well as making the attempt to shine a light on bigotry in general, and in the South as a stereotype.

This is a wonderful book and I can't wait for the next!!

Excellent Narration!!!

Cassandra Campbell is one best narrators I have ever listened to! Her voice is soft, smooth, and changing from one person to another is seamless for her!! after listening to the "Faye Beauchamp Trilogy" ( which I hope is not finished) I was expecting that I would here someone's voice repeat in the next. book. I was amazed that it never happened so every character stood out! And to me it was refreshing artistry!!

Easy reading but fun enough

Our heroine continues to flout law and good archaeological practice across America. Rednecks redneck and everyone else struggles with their identity. It’s all fine enough but I was a bit shocked to hear it’s being studied in schools.

Great story telling

A very enjoyable, 'page-turning' story with a pleasingly challenging whodunnit plot spliced with the opening up of the worlds if archeology and First Nation cultures and beliefs. Day's 'love interests' were a good added interest. come on, Joe and Fay, get your act together!

Another good mystery

I really enjoy the research and history that has gone into the writing and the stories told within the novel. I like the way the author interweaves all the elements into a coherent and exciting tale. My favourite of the series so far.
