Strangers

A Faye Longchamp Mystery

By: Mary Anna Evans

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Faye Longchamp’s new archaeological firm has landed a project in St. Augustine, Florida. In four centuries, America’s oldest city has accumulated skeletons that should probably stay buried. Within a day of Faye’s arrival, a woman disappears, leaving behind blood, priceless artifacts, and a note asking for Faye’s help.

The detective hires Faye to find the artifacts’ origin, but the ghosts of the Ancient City are demanding masters, and Faye is also driven to uncover their secrets - until it becomes clear that what they seek is Faye herself. And her child.

Mary Anna Evans, award-winning author of the six Faye Longchamp mysteries, has degrees in physics and engineering, but her heart is in the past. Her books have found an unexpected home in schools, and when she’s not writing novels, she works with teachers to develop ways to use popular fiction to teach math, science, and history to kids.

Critic reviews

“Evans explores themes of protection, love, and loss in her absorbing sixth Faye Longchamp mystery…Compelling extracts from a sixteenth-century Spanish priest’s manuscript diary that Faye begins translating lend historical ballast. Determined that old mysteries see the light of day, the feisty Faye never gives up until justice is done.” (Publishers Weekly)

Another intriguing step in the journey of Faye and Joe

I enjoyed this book with its glimpse into the lives of the first Europeans to come to America and the early years of the film industry. As always Faye’s experiences form a readable and believable story

Weak story, long winded, but strong finish

I persisted despite the story getting bogged down in eye rolling tedium of pregnancy and he man protective husband, As usual, the rational for the murder is far fetched, but there were some suspenseful scenes and nice final chapter ending and epilogue of author’s musing.

What bothered me

What bothered me was how careless Fay was hiding in the ditch with Betsy and that Joe didn’t ring her out for being so reckless.

Always awesome!

Love this series. It is fun, unpredictable. Love her story telling, love this story that has good character development. Interesting storyline. Can’t wait to listen to next novel!

I want to be like Faye

As always, Faye rocks. Even pregnant Faye manages to save the day. This is a very good series that blends history and present day. I love it!
