Erin Hart, Haunted Ground and Lake of Sorrows

I had Haunted Ground checked out from the library last fall, but couldn't get into it for some reason. Had no trouble this time. And was really glad to have the follow-up - hopefully just book #2 in a new long-running series - sitting there ready to dive into.

Haunted Ground combines a present day mystery with a historical one. I was fascinated with the research done to identify the dead woman in the bog, and what a sad tale. Lake of Sorrows also uses this combination timeline approach, although in this case the historical case is only a few decades old, rather than centuries removed.

Good characters, interesting settings in Ireland, and an interesting blend of forensic, archaeological, and historical mystery.
