Sir Rudri Hopkinson, an eccentric amateur archaeologist, is determined to recreate ancient rituals at the temple of Eleusis in Greece in the hope of summoning the goddess Demeter. He gathers together a motley collection of people to assist in the experiment, including a rival scholar, a handsome but cruel photographer and a trio of mischievous children. But when one of the groups disappears, and a severed head turns up in a box of snakes, Mrs Bradley is called upon to investigate.

"Really liked this book, new author to add to my reading list, can't wait to read more. Wonderfully written and the way the clues are included in the storyline is superb." — Celia (4 out of 5 stars)

" Although the cover blurb touts this as "one of her best" I don't agree. Ending is flat and predictable. "
" Not one of my favourites. I didn't really 'feel' the setting, some of the young male characters in particular were insufficiently differentiated and there was far far too much messing about prior to the actual murder. "
" This one seemed to go on and on with nothing much happening. So boring. Almost gave up. Such a shame as have enjoyed the others. "
" Doesn't even remotely compare to Agatha Christie... "
" One where the author doesn't give enough clues for the reader to be able to try to solve whodunnit which I find frustrating "
