Lambert's historical journeys parallel her adventurous novels, as she probes through time in her quest to uncover mysteries.

With Lambert's vivid imagination, layers are uncovered and braided together into A Rapture of Ravens: Awakening in Taos, a marvelous novel of suspense and timelessness.

Linda Lambert weaves an intricate story blending the past with the present in the beautiful setting of Taos and northern New Mexico. Her descriptions of the people and places are delightful. As an archaeologist, I especially enjoyed the visits to ancestral Puebloan villages and the archaeological discussions concerning the movement of Pueblo people into the northern New Mexico area in prehistoric times. A fascinating sub-plot deals with D. H. Lawrence, who found his spiritual center at his ranch in the tranquil foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains north of Taos.
