β¦ Synopsis
Antiques dealer Lara McClintoch and her friend Moira Meller head to Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to celebrate Moira's return to health. When they reach their hotel, they find it's the site of the Rapa Nui Moai Congress--an academic conference to exchange information on the moai, giant stone carvings that populate the island. After the two join the conference, planning to attend the lectures and field trips, one of the attendees is found dead, thought by police to have been trampled by wild horses. Lara disagrees with the verdict and begins her own investigation as further participants die. Fascinating details about the island's history and the moai enhance this ninth adventure in the archaeologically rich series. Lara and Moira are well-drawn characters, but, disappointingly, the numerous secondary characters are hard to differentiate.οΏ½
