The Mystery Tomb by Eva Pohler is hard to define in a specific category.  It has suspense and mystery, it is a contemporary story with glimpses back to the past, it has romance and conflict, and it is absolutely intriguing.The story follows Samantha Beck, a young archeologist who is searching for a lost tribe of Indian ancestors.  She finds evidence of a lost tribe of Leni-Lenape in Pennsylvania.  The story has many twists and turns as Samantha tries convince Tukihela, the local descendant of the tribe, to reveal the tribe's secrets to the world.  There are some surprising discoveries made about the customs of the tribe and also about Tukihela's immediate family.I really enjoyed this story and I was captivated by it.  The story was well-researched and well-written.  I live in Pennsylvania and many of the areas in PA and NJ that were mentioned in the book were familiar to me and they were all described accurately.  As a history buff, and a history major in college, I really enjoyed the historical aspects of the story.I definitely would recommend this book to other.*Note - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
