Great little mystery that was a quick read. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

I’ve had this book for ages, I’m not sure why I chose this week to read it. Ruth Galloway, an archeologist who teaches at a university in Norfolk, is called in to consult when someone finds human remains. Absorbing and takes some unexpected turns.

A cozy little mystery that was a bit predictable, but enjoyable. While it annoyed me that the main character kept whining about her weight, I'm going to read the next one if only for the descriptions of her cozy seaside cottage!

Just stumbled over this again (tangent: link to the shortlist Dead Good Books, read the comment, do not like Patterson too much, read most/all of Reichs and Gerritsen, so I looked up Griffiths and wanted to buy the first book in the Galloways series for Kindle, only Amazon informed I already bought it. Lucky me, would not have been the first time I bought something again.
Currently (July 23d, 2016) reading [b:The Girl on the Train|22557272|The Girl on the Train|Paula Hawkins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1469460259s/22557272.jpg|41107568].
Hopefully I can finish "Girl ...", my habit of starting yet another book while not totally abandoning others is starting to hurt continuity, there I have to read parts again to get into a story I started reading too long ago. Arghh, too late, started it ...
A bit long, interesting scenery. Just not enough in the end for 5 stars.
Still, recommended fast read of not entirely a page-turner for me. Will certainly buy and read the other books in the series sometimes.
