Book Review: Artifacts Natalie Lemle

Author: Natalie Lemle
Title: Artifacts
Narrator: Amanda Dolan
Publication Info: Simon & Schuster Audio, 2026
Summary/Review:

Attorney Lena Connolly gets involved in a case in which the Italian government is demanding the repatriation of a rare glass cup from Ancient Rome. Twenty years earlier as a student, Lena participated in an archaeological field school in the Italian Alps. The case brings her into contact with people from that dig for the first time in years including her ex Giamma. It also stirs up memories of her mentor going missing, her estrangement from her family, and the likelihood of Italian organized crime in trafficking arts and artifacts to museums. The novel alternates between the mysteries of the present day case and flashbacks to Lena’s summer in Italy. There are a whole lot of subplots and coincidences that clutter that narrative. I ultimately found my mind wandering too much as I strained to maintain interest, but your mileage may vary.

Rating: **

A landslide in Italy has exposed a Picene burial thought to date back to 6th century BCE. The Picenes were related to other pre-Roman Italian groups and imported pottery, bronzes etc from Greece. Further work will be carried out to ascertain whether there are any more burials. https://archaeology.org/news/2026/09/15/landslide-exposes-pre-roman-burial-in-eastern-italy/
