Story4.5 out of 5 stars 362
It’s not every day that you’re summoned to the Italian countryside on business, so when archaeologist Angelo Morelli asks for Ruth Galloway’s help identifying bones found in the tiny hilltop town of Fontana Liri, she jumps at the chance to go, bringing her daughter along with her for a working vacation. Upon arriving, she begins to hear murmurs of Fontana Liri’s strong resistance movement during World War II and senses the townspeople are dancing around a deeply buried secret. But how could that be connected to the ancient remains she’s been studying?

Ruth and Nelson investigate a string of murders and disappearances deep within the abandoned tunnels hidden far beneath the streets of Norwich. Norwich is riddled with old chalk-mining tunnels, but no one's sure exactly how many. When Ruth is called in to investigate a set of human remains found in one of them, she notices the bones are almost translucent - a sign they were boiled soon after death. Once more she finds herself at the helm of a murder investigation.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 557
Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway has excavated a body from the grounds of Norwich Castle, a forbidding edifice that was once a prison. She believes the body may be that of infamous Victorian murderess Jemima Green. Called Mother Hook for her claw-like hand, Jemima was hanged in 1867 for the murder of five children in her care. DCI Harry Nelson has no time for long-dead killers. Immersed in the case of three infants found dead, one after the other, in their King’s Lynn home, he’s convinced that a family member is responsible, though others on his team think differently.

It is Halloween night, and the local museum in King's Lynn is preparing for an unusual event - the opening of a coffin containing the bones of a medieval bishop. But when Ruth Galloway arrives to supervise, she finds the museum's curator lying dead beside the coffin. It is only a matter of time before she and DI Nelson cross paths once more, as he is called in to investigate. Soon the museum's wealthy owner lies dead in his stables, too. These two deaths could be from natural causes - but Nelson isn't convinced.

It’s Gamache’s first day back as head of the homicide department, a job he temporarily shares with his previous second-in-command, Jean-Guy Beauvoir. Flood waters are rising across the province. In the middle of the turmoil a father approaches Gamache, pleading for help in finding his daughter. As crisis piles upon crisis, Gamache tries to hold off the encroaching chaos, and realizes the search for Vivienne Godin should be abandoned. But with a daughter of his own, he finds himself developing a profound, and perhaps unwise, empathy for her distraught father.

Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt. As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

Very good book; horrible recording

Publisher's Summary
DCI Nelson has been receiving threatening letters telling him to 'go to the stone circle and rescue the innocent who is buried there'. He is shaken, not only because children are very much on his mind, with Michelle's baby due to be born, but because although the letters are anonymous, they are somehow familiar. They read like the letters that first drew him into the case of The Crossing Places, and to Ruth. But the author of those letters is dead. Or are they?
Meanwhile, Ruth is working on a dig in the Saltmarsh - another henge, known by the archaeologists as the stone circle - trying not to think about the baby. Then bones are found on the site and identified as those of Margaret Lacey, a 12-year-old girl who disappeared 30 years ago.
As the Margaret Lacey case progresses, more and more aspects of it begin to hark back to that first case of The Crossing Places, and to Scarlett Henderson, the girl Nelson couldn't save. The past is reaching out for Ruth and Nelson, and its grip is deadly.

Fantastic as usual
I’m now so sad that I’ve finished this book and will have to wait for the next. It’s rare to find so many fully rounded characters to care about and plots that weave around them and into the past of the series too which makes it all that more satisfying for fans of these books. Thank you Elly Griffiths and thank you to the superb story telling too Jane McDowell!

Ruth... My Favourite Heroine
Set in the beautiful eerie Salt Marsh in Norfolk, we catch up with the complicated life of Ruth, her policeman lover Nelson, his wife Michelle and their respective family and friends with whom, by book ten, we are now comfortably familiar.
An ancient burial along with a more modern crime keep the mystery moving along as we follow the investigation alongside the lives of the characters.
This is my favourite series ever and this latest Ruth book is fantastic. Ruth as a heroine is perfect; independent, thoughtful and flawed but by now very real to me.
Jane is a fabulous narrator too and makes the story so enjoyable to listen to.
Thank you Elly... please don’t stop 😊😊😊

NARRATION
This is not a critique of the narrator who is very good. I wear earphones to listen and therefore prefer a straightforward reading of the book, not a performance. When there is altered acoustics, for example the tinny narration of a telephone conversation, it can become irritating and inaudible. I have enjoyed the series so far and hope for another one, what is to become of Michelle, Nelson and Ruth?

Welcome back to these great Characters
I really enjoyed this novel, both for the storyline about the missing children but also for the glimpse into Ruth’s life. I love how real it all feels, how we watch our protagonists face the moral choices that many people face in modern society
Jane McDowell is an excellent narrator, she gets all the voices just right
Do read the Ruth Galloway series in order, you will miss so much if you don’t
Next a screen adaptation by the people who created Inspector Banks in tv; they can be trusted!

Confusing at times
I found this story confusing at times. Too many characters and the narrator did not leave enough time between paragraphs so I was left wondering what was going on as it skipped to a different character who sounded much the same as previous one! Except when she tried to change accents and they all sounded Irish! Must be lots Irish people living in Norfolk!! She also kept making strange sounds as she read, like she had a cold or sore throat? Not the best of Elly's stories for me.

Difficult to hear at times
Unlike many of the Elly Griffiths audible books, the narrators Lancashire accent doesn’t make Nelson sound stupid- but the irritating use of a voice on the end of the phone sounding distant and too low is the thing that spoilt it for me.
I often listen in the kitchen, doing housework or in the car and the telephone conversations spoilt it for me . I’d miss the information and clues.
Also the mouth noises of the reader seemed more obvious in this novel. This also irritated me. (Makes me sound as though I’m permanently irritated. But I did feel it marred my enjoyment. The plot was good. I didn’t for-see the culprit.

Elly never ceases to keep me captivated
I love Elly Griffiths books, especially the Ruth Galloway series and this one did not disappoint me. Not only is it a wonderful crime novel, there is also humour throughout the book and even though I feel kind of weird laughing in a murder story, I can't help it. Then there are the threads that run through all the books, building up a picture of so many characters - frustrating at times, but leaving us wanting more. I am eagerly awaiting the next one in the series. Hope I don't have too long to wait! The only negative is the narrator. Jane McDowell has irritated me on previous occasions, - I prefer the other narrator - but I have to say, did not seem quite so awful this time. Perhaps I am getting used to her!

A wonderful read!<br />
Yet another intriguing and multilayered mystery with marvellous characters and atmospheric settings. It will be a long wait for the next book in this wonderful series.

Full Circle
Ruth and Nelson full circle to their first case although things are not what they seem. I find this series quite comfy like old friends and when trying new crime authors, Elly Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway is my standard.

Another brilliant read
I love all ten of the Ruth Galloway books.
The characters are rounded, complex and engaging.
Plots are deft and intriguing and the archeological background is really informative.
I am already looking forward to book 11.

A competent continuation of a set of characters
I am a little addicted to this series. I have followed the characters through ten previous books and will probably read the 12th if it is written. There is no great elevation in the prose but the plot expands in a reasonable way and I did not guess the ending.
