    American medieval history professor Dotsy Lamb and her best friend, Lettie Osgood, are working an archaeological dig in the Scottish Highlands on the grounds of Dunlaggan Castle when murder strikes. The victim is genial, well-liked graduate student Froggy Quale, the on-site pollen and spore expert. His roommate, the dig's media man, is the prime suspect, but Dotsy, quite fond of both boys, is convinced otherwise.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes. It's a murder mystery with lots of twists and turns with an unpredictable ending.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Dottsie Lamb, of course... the heroine.


    What does Eliza Jane Schnider bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    She brings a soft voice with just the right amount of acting thrown in. The dialects are very helpful to differentiate the characters, and she doesn't sound like someone who is "trying to imitate "British" or "Scottish."

    Her accents, nor her read distract from the story. They enhance it. It's as if she's experiencing the story with us.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    "The Butler Didn't Do It!"


    Any additional comments?

    I will be specifically looking for more books by Eliza Jane Schneider.

    On November 18, 1958, a 623-foot limestone carrier - caught in one of the most violent storms in Lake Michigan history - broke in two and sank in less than five minutes. Four of the 35-person crew escaped to a small raft, to which they clung in total darkness, braving 30-foot waves and frigid temperatures. As the storm raged on, a search-and-rescue mission hunted for survivors, while the frantic citizens of nearby Rogers City, Michigan, anxiously awaited word of their loved ones' fates.

    Where does Wreck of the Carl D. rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Pretty high. He made it very interesting.


    Any additional comments?

    It was a tragedy that I was unaware of until a friend told me about it. This book was very informative to me--having known nothing before I listened to it.
