Editorial Review: Just when everything is going beautifully for archaeologist Emma Fielding -- a position at a respected university, a beautiful home in New England, and the warm love of a devoted husband -- her world starts to crumble. What begins as a series of seemingly innocent gestures -- the anonymous delivery of gifts and flowers to Emma's family and friends -- soon progresses to secret, sadistic acts designed to destroy her reputation, her character, and her career.
Someone has instituted a brilliantly insidious campaign of personal terror against Emma Fielding, and she is certain she knows who it is: a cunning and dangerous enemy whom everyone but she believes is dead. But with no proof, no clues, and no allies, Emma will have to fight alone in the dark to rescue a life being rapidly reduced to ashes . . . if she can survive long enough to do so.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Ashes and Bones by Dana Cameron
I like the character Emma Fielding and her exploits. I love archaeology anyway and adding a little mystery and a good team of workers with her exploits makes for a good read and this one is just as exciting and interesting as her other five. I like how she brings the archaeology finds and explains them at the times of the finds so you can follow her through out the book, you never get lost of the actual theme of the book along with all the unusal happenings that find her. Very good reading.
Rating: - Winner of a Well Deserved Anthony Award
I have read, and enjoyed, all of the Emma Fielding books. One of my favorite aspects of the series is that, along with a great mystery, Cameron gives the reader the full breadth of the rewards and challenges faced by a working archaeologist.

I don't see the fact that there's ... Read More
Rating:  - Some cheese with that whine?
I agree with the other reviews that this is the weakest of the series. Emma's consistent whining about her life and continual questioning of her motivations, career, marriage, relationships (which are better than most of us have) reaches peak annoyance level in this novel.
Rating:  - Disappointed
I enjoyed all her other books and was looking forward to this one. What a disappointment. If you are reading this series because you like the archaeological aspects, skip this one there aren't any.
Rating:  - Ashes are what you'll want to turn these pages to
I'll keep this simple and short. If you enjoy mysteries that have no mystery, suspense, character development, creative storyline, etcetera - this book is for you. I'm serious. It reeks of an endeavor the author was goaded into by some teaching colleague that thought she had some talent. The author tries to be witty and is overly wordy in the process.
I bought this book thinking the description, title, and cover looked interesting, particularly for this time of year. Don't make the same ... Read More
