~*Medallion of Murder by B.R. Myers*~

First off I want to thank NetGalley and Blue Moon Publishers for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this novel. I have just recently discovered this series and it has become one of my favorite series ever in the mystery genre. I requested this book and then realized it was the third book in a series so I quickly picked up the first two books and read them back to back so that I would not be lost. It was a smart move because I think I would have been slightly left out of the relationships. I actually think that is a good thing because BR Myers does not spend time on a full chapter of back story. She does pepper the information throughout the book when you need a refresher here or there. I think that is a better way to do things as it does not slow down the story. that being said you can totally read this book and not really be lost. You just won't have the ability to see Terry meet each person from the previous books.

This book picks up at Christmas time with Terry still struggling with the horrible experiences she survived last Summer in Egypt. She keeps suffering nightmares as well as dealing with the guilt she feels for what she feels are the problems she brought upon her friends and boyfriend. She is also dealing with the pains of growing up as she and Maude will be graduating and everyone in her Scooby ay be going their own way. Into all of this comes the feeling she is being watched, strange happenings all around and of course an Egyptian artifact. I did wish Terry had grown a bit more but by the end of the novel she seems to have developed into an adult. I guess after all of the trauma she suffered it only makes sense that she needed to deal with that first and foremost.
