D is for Digging
D is for Digging
Welcome to Day 4 of Blogging A to Z!
So, yesterday…It seems everyone was on board with A Christmas Carol. I just hope you didn’t become complacent because today’s mystery is going to be harder.
Book-ish Ghosts
Throughout the April challenge, you get to guess the ghost novel, ghost movie, or ghost beginning with the letter of the day. You can find Book-ish Ghosts contest rules here in the theme reveal.
Today’s clues brought to you by the letter D.
Clue 1: A New York archaeologist, the heroine of this romantic suspense novel, digs for a living; her specialty is finding old human remains in properties about to be renovated.
Clue 2: The heroine, Leslie MacIntyre, digs into (as in delves into) the stories and misfortunes of dead people who seek her help–usually because they’re desperate for a proper burial.
Leave your guesses in the comments. Dig deep!
The answer to yesterday’s C is for Cautionary:
C is for A Christmas Carol!
Yes, you were all right! Congratulate yourselves!
Trivia tidbit: According to author Molly Oldfield, Charles Dickens is the first famous author to do public readings. And his first audience was 2000 people! Read more at “10 Things You Might Not Know About A Christmas Carol.”

I’m going to come clean and say I went looking for this – mainly because it sounds like just the kind of book I might like to read. I think it’s The Dead Room by Heather Graham.

Without confirming or denying (Do I sound like a politician, or what?) I will say that if you enjoy romantic suspense, The Dead Room is a fun read with some glimpses into history. Like you, I think archaeologists + ghosts is a compelling combo.
No surprise…haven’t a clue! 🙂
Ah, well, the good news is that you’re being exposed to some new titles to read. In my book (cringe), that’s always going to be a win.
No idea on this one. I shall await your reveal tomorrow instead of researching it.
Sounds like a plan. I shall reveal all tomorrow and give you the next mystery. See you soon!
Gotta be The Dead Room by Heather Graham. Loving this theme.
So glad that you’re having fun, Jean!
I honestly don’t have a clue! The name of your blog reminds me of the Bobby Goldsburough song by the same title! Now I’ll have an earworm all evening!
Happy AtoZing!
I had never heard of the Bobby Goldsburough song “Pen in Hand.” I looked it up; it’s a sort of melancholy love song. I titled my blog Pen In Her Hand for a quote Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion in which the main character scolds a man for dissing women. He says history books prove that women are not steadfast. She replies that men write the histories because “the pen has been in their hands.”
