The 1st book in the most excellent Ruth Galloway series - enjoy!

Book Description:
When she's not digging up bones or other ancient objects, Ruth Galloway lectures at the University of North Norfolk. She lives happily alone in a remote, wild place called Saltmarsh overlooking the North Sea under Norfolk's vast skies. For company she has her cats Flint and Sparky, and Radio 4. When a child's bones are found in the marshes near an ancient site that Ruth worked on ten years earlier, Ruth is asked to date them. The bones turn out to be two thousand years old, and DCI Harry Nelson, who called on Ruth for help, is disappointed. He'd hoped they would be the bones of a child called Lucy who's been missing for ten years. He's been getting letters about her ever since - bizarre notes with references to ritual and sacrifice and quoting the Bible and Shakespeare. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives another letter. Soon it becomes clear that Ruth is in danger from a killer who knows that her expert knowledge is being used to help the police with their enquiries.

Released to the winner of Plum's Hallowe'en Sweepstake 2014. Enjoy!

Thank you very much for your box of Halloween treats

What a fantastic read. I absolutely loved this great book. It had an easy to follow plot, you could rsome what relatable to the two main characters Ruth Galloway and DCI Nelson in some way shape or form.

The storyline was just superb. The book was extremely well written and keeps you thinking "who Dunn it" and "what happened to two girls that went missing"

I will Deffinatly be buying the next book in the series

If I didn't have to work I would of easily have read this in one sitting, but life must go on

An entertaining & gripping read with good lead character in Ruth Galloway. As one of the comments says "(Ruth) is engagingly awkward enough to be perversely appealing".
The relationship between her & DCI Nelson is obviously going to be a complicated, but intriguing one & I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop....thanks Abi-Gibby.

Edit: taken to the Oxford Convention for the book swap game for which it got dressed up!

Stolen and won at the convention book swap game. I've got this book to pass to my Mum as I think she'll like this from the description.
