Fall 2022: Digging for Clues

Archeologists attempt to solve mysteries from the past, but sometimes they become involves in contemporary mysteries as well. Agatha Christie, whose second husband was the British archeologist Max Mallowan, once said, "An archeologist is the best husband any woman can get. Just consider: The older she gets, the more he is interested in her." Of course, in Christie's day, most of the professional archeologists were male; not so in this series.
