I think it meant so much because I had been trapped in a job I hated myself before deciding to start a handmade jewellery company. I was a computer scientist and managed 3 years as a computer programmer before finding myself looking down the lens of a life which made me hope for a car crash just to avoid work for a few days. How desperate can a 20 something be so early into a career. Something had to change or my future looked pretty bleak. Archaeologist Josephine Pulcillo’s blood runs cold when the killer’s cryptic missives are discovered, and her darkest dread becomes real when the carefully preserved corpse of yet a third victim is left in her car like a gruesome offering–or perhaps a ghastly promise of what’s to come. From this moment she decided to take control of her life and live an independent, brave life defying convention.

Reminds me of when I was young and was reading the Hardy Boys! In the early part of the 1830s, Prudence Merryfield was blessed with a wealthy childhood. When he died, Prudence expected to be the pilot of her own ship and able to do as she pleased. Det. Jane Rizzoli & Dr. Maura Isles perform CT scans to find the 10+ year old body has a "modern day" bullet & the body wrapped in ancient mummy cloth, hence the Archaeology Killer is called "Madam-X".
