[b: The Bone Shroud|39096071|The Bone Shroud|Jean Rabe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520644146l/39096071._SY75_.jpg|60677289] This is the first book I've read by Jean Rabe, and it will certainly be the first of many! It was a great choice during a time that escaping into a book is the best way to cope with the reality of the 2020 pandemic. I loved the history of unfamiliar religions; she provided just the right amount of insight along with the fast pace of the plot Jean's descriptions of the city's underground world were so realistic that I could smell the dampness (and felt a bit claustrophobic in the tunnels...). I hope there is to be a sequel with more adventures for Irem the archivist, and yes, a bit of character growth as she learns more about archeology and perhaps, to make smarter decisions while investigating! A new-to-me author to add to the want-to-read list.

Irem Madigan loves her brother and and she loves history. When she heads to Rome to attend her brother’s wedding, little did she know she would be entwined in an archeological mystery and forced to fight for her life. Pick up this fast-paced indie novel with a likable and spunky main character, and prepare to be absorbed in an action packed, page turning story. This title is available on Biblioboard.

A very fast paced and entertaining book.
It was fun to read and a real page turner.
The book is well written and the characters are interesting. Rome is a bit on the touristic side but there are enjoyable descriptions (I'm Italian :) )
Recommended.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Boone Street Press
