The Last Remains |
The latest Ruth Galloway mystery: a walled up skeleton is found and enquiries start into a twenty year old murder. Set in a Norfolk of crime detection, archaeology and occult mythology, its locations are real with engaging police and academic cross-currents. The mystery progressively, sometimes dramatically, unravels while the relationships of sympathetic but very different main characters change significantly. A consistently absorbing read – in the author’s intelligent company – but the dark deeds and undertones nevertheless felt a bit cosy and unthreatening.
