 K this was a pretty good installment that made a gentle commentary on unhoused people & how they must build their own communities for safety and acceptance. It was kind of a nice juxtaposition with the usual archaeological plot! But HOW can Griffiths for the THIRD TIME write the same, very specific plot close for yet another character with no deviation? It's bonkers the editors let this happen and fortunate for me it's a trope I enjoy, so I'm not too annoyed, but there's some Groundhog Day going on. Also, the author hates fat people. She's pulled back on the comments but still manages to sneak in one or two. Anyway, on to #10.

Another fun read - the mystery was a bit weird in this but the ongoing story of the regular characters was great.
