Elly Griffiths writes richly crafted stories with beautiful description of setting and characters. Each character shows depths of personality. The setting jumps out and the reader feels the chilling numbness of the water and the elements. Ruth battles with love of her job in archaeology and her recent motherhood demands. Elly Griffiths presents a story of a fictional landing of six German soldiers from WWII on English soil and their eventual murders. To what extent will family preserve a relative’s honor? As usual, Ruth must grapple with the past and her experiences as an archaeologist in war ravaged areas. Two good friends: Cathbad and Tatyana support Ruth in her endeavor as a single mother. Is that enough? Does Kate, Ruth’s daughter need the support of her father? Having read the last book of the Ruth Galloway series, I know the answer. But this reviewer will leave that question unanswered for now. ( ) Third in the Ruth Galloway series and in this one some bones are discovered at the foot of a cliff. DCI Nelson is on the case and it seems the bones have been there possibly since the Second World War. I always like to read books in order and I am so glad that I am in with this series. The book could be read without reading the first two as there are plenty of references but I would recommend in order. I don't like police procedure books but have read them in the past. This series however isn't heavy with the police procedure but more about the characters. This for me is the best part. The relationship with the two main characters does remind me of why I enjoyed the Alex Kava books featuring Maggie O'Dell, I'm getting the same vibes. The plot to this story was interesting and I quite enjoyed the book overall. I didn't guess who was the perp and that character did seem to be the last one I would have though of. Cathbad is such a great character and I have to say my favourite so far. I do hope he is around for the rest of the series. This story has ended with a very interesting situation so that will be something to look forward to in the next book also. Enjoying the series so far so will definitely be reading book four very soon whilst events are fresh in my mind. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML:In "a wonderful, atmospheric mystery" featuring forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson, six bodies of men killed during World War II turn up in Brightonâ??bringing with them a long-buried, nefarious secret (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel). Just back from maternity leave, forensic archeologist Ruth is finding it hard to juggle motherhood and work when she is called in to investigate human bones that have surfaced on a remote Norfolk beach. The presence of DCI Harry Nelson, the married father of her daughter, does not help. The bones, six men with their arms bound, turn out to date back to World War II, a desperate time on this stretch of coastland. As Ruth and Nelson investigate, Home Guard veteran Archie Whitcliffe reveals the existence of a secret the old soldiers have vowed to protect with their lives. But then Archie is killed and a German journalist arrives, asking questions about Operation Lucifer, a plan to stop a German invasion, and a possible British war crime. What was Operation Lucifer? And who is prepared to kill to keep its secret? "[A] page-turning mystery . . . it provides a wholly satisfying whodunit as well as a good reason to look up the other two [books in the series] . . . Griffiths's Galloway is a likable and alluring character."â??Associated Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
