It was a dream come true. Susan loved all things Scottish. So, when the opportunity presented itself, there was no question in her mind that she would go on the archaeological dig in the Highlands.

A cryptic message slipped to Susan by a sinister soap box orator was the first puzzle. Why did he choose her? Why was he chasing her? And why were she and the handsome young laird Jamie Erskine suddenly being pursued by the police who wanted to talk to them about...murder?

"Jamie stood by the desk. 'You aren't afraid of me, are you?'"

Susan considered the question. It was the first time it had occurred to her that she might have reasons to be afraid; but the accumulated facts suddenly washed over her and took her breath away.

It was interesting but at times confusing. The characters were hard to keep track of. There were some unusual ones for sure.

Interesting story

Peters style of romantic suspense is already well formed in this early novel. The plot revolves around a young American archeology student in Scotland.

The novel both adores the romantic legends of Scotland and has a sense of humor about how the characters and their modern lives play out against that backdrop. One example, I particularly adored was a trio of old crones the heroine calls on for assistance. In this story, the elderly women are actually trained physicians.

Many of her later themes are evident here, including a intellectually capable young female heroine who participates in the adventure and the escapes. As well female sexuality being the prerogative of the heroine.

Legend is extravagant romance

Although I prefer her Amelia Peabody books, Elizabeth Peters has written a definite winner here. Written in 1976, some of the VERY minor details are a little dated. However, it is a great mystery and a fun story. The reader is excellent and her different accents added realism to the story. I highly recommend this book.

Great story!

The story was okay, not one of Elizabeth Peter's best. The reading was full of awkward pauses an inflections. It often sounded like someone reading a grocery list.

This is one of Peter’s funniest books. Every character could be a model for the Outlander characters.
Enjoy this book and Remember what it is like to be twenty again.
