A stellar installment of this series! Added bonus of a fresh setting in Italy. Griffiths is a terrific mystery writer and I just love coming back to these characters.

In The Dark Angel - the 10th in the Dr. Ruth Galloway series - Ruth is invited to Italy by an old friend, Professor Angelo Morelli, to investigate an excavation of a skeleton.
Accompanied by daughter Kate and friend Shona, Ruth soon finds herself caught up in secrets from the past and a present day murder.
As usual, Elly Griffiths gradually weaves a story, with several different strands, building the tension towards a satisfying conclusion.

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.
