Publisher's summary
The "richly detailed, almost indecently thrilling" (New York Times) follow-up to The Serpent's Tale
When a fire at Glastonbury Abbey reveals two skeletons, rumor has it they may belong to King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. King Henry II hopes so, for it would help him put down a rebellion in Wales, where the legend of Celtic savior Arthur is strong. To make certain, he sends Adelia Aguilar, his Mistress of the Art of Death, to Glastonbury to examine the skeletons.
At the same time, the investigation into the abbey fire will be overseen by the Bishop of St. Albans, father of Adelia's daughter. Trouble is, someone at Glastonbury doesn't want either mystery solved and is prepared to kill to prevent it....

Grave Goods
Because Grave Goods employed some gravely bad language that, to me, was entirely gratuitous, I can not rate it higher than 3 nor can I say I'll seek the next one in this series. Call me prudish but a couple of "F" bombs or "G_D"s derails my interest every time. Did enjoy the strong and vocal heroine. Should she ever become more ladylike, I'll be waiting.

pretty good historical mystery
This was a good historical mystery with acceptable narration, except when the narrator made the major character, who is otherwise indominable, sound weepy and wimpy.

Wonderful book in the series, good narrator
It had been awhile since I read the other books in the "Mistress of the Art of Death" series but I remember liking them so much that I decided to pick back up where I left off. "Grave Goods" starts off slow, but it is just setting up the scene and characters of the story. I love how Ariana is very descriptive, yet her style and tone is easy to read and not stuffy like other books that are set in this time period. The book and its mystery became addictive and I actually looked forward to driving because I was eager to know what happened next!

Very good story. Fantastic narration. Narrator has the ability to give each character their own distinct personality.

Wonderful book
As all her books are. I read them first in print, but have truly enjoyed hearing Adelia and Rowley.

Not interesting
History tidbits are always interesting, but this particular story was not. The writing was boring and detached (he did this, then she did that), very modern, and lackluster. Heroine was dreary, worrisome, and moaned a lot. As some one else said, the interactions between Adelia and the King were the most interesting.
