When Maddie McGuire lands an archeology internship at the Roman Baths in England, she assumes everything will go her way. But when this college sophomore discovers a severed human ear on her doorstep, she must solve its meaning before she becomes the next victim, or worse, gets deported. Her tentative friendship with young constable Edward Bailey and the beauty of the Bath Abbey are no comfort as her aristocratic coworker Simon Pacock sabotages her every move. And the danger only increases when she discovers a dead body, both ears intact.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Death Takes a Bath is a wonderful first entry in Sharon Lynn's Cotswold Crime series. Shy Maddie McGuire wins an archeology internship to Bath, England, and over the course of the novel this plucky heroine comes into her own. A twisty plot has her dealing with a dead body, a difficult co-worker planning to show her up, and a bit of romance with a constable who's called in to investigate a murder. Maddie, unfortunately, finds the body. The humor is perfect as she struggles with a language that might be called "English" but doesn't always resemble her American idioms. The dialogue is witty, the descriptions of Bath and the countryside are delightful, and the reader is treated to interesting history of the town and region. I'd recommend this cozy mystery with plenty of twists and turns, a heroine who finds her voice, and an atmosphere that will please anglophiles.

    Clever tale , centered in Bath. No Georgette Heyer or Jane Austen here. A modern American college student takes an internship in archeology at the Abbey. Her first night in England the bunny at the cottage where she is staying finds a severed ear. Missing people, murder attempts and a romance follow. Why did none of this happen on my study abroad trips?

However, I ordered this book, started reading it, and could not put it down. I highly recommend you purchase and read it. You won’t be sorry. I cannot wait to see what’s next! Great job Sharon Lynn!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not a book for grownups
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Maybe young readers would like these characters. I don't know. But it is inconceivable to me that any 19-year-old from a wealthy, well-traveled family would be as unsophisticated and ignorant as Maddie, this book's protagonist. She goes to live and work in Bath knowing nothing of UK culture??
    The murderer is known long long before the end. Even after the disclosure, we have to endure many many pages of victims trapped in the dark. I had to skip pages it was so tedious.

    It has been thirty years since I visited Bath, England and this book took me back to it. Following a young American studying abroad, adjusting to a new culture while trying to prove herself to her parents made for an interesting story. I learned things about archaeology I did not know without feeling bombarded by endless facts. I'm ready to read the next in the series.

This story has so many intimate details about the local color and environs in Bath it has me interested to visit myself and retrace the steps of Maddie!

    I felt the lead character came across as very immature in every way. The general plot was ok but let down by weak lead.
