I was a bit skeptical of a “destination” installment of this series, but I ended up really liking this one.

I loved the new setting and lots of character developments, but the case in this book could have been better.

What can I say? I've now read 10 Ruth Galloway novels and nothing can stop me from reading the next three. Keep 'em coming, Elly!

Just terrific the way the arc is developed over the last three books.

This is the 10th book in the series about Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist and academic. This is a series that really needs to be read in sequence, because it's as much about the lives of the characters as it is a mystery. While the books sometimes feel like the same story rewritten with minor changes, this one is quite different as it is set in Italy. Ruth has been invited by a former flame - and fellow archaeologist - to give advice on a recent excavation. I enjoyed the change in location and I enjoyed the increasing tension between Nelson and Ruth. I am very, very curious to know what will happen in the next book!
