The mystery was more interesting in this installment - bones are found in a WWII plane that turn out to be MODERN BONES (my new band name). But the rest is as usual: another person is cheating on their spouse, the main character is obsessed with losing weight, and babies keep appearing. Just babies everywhere. But I keep enjoying the little soap operas anyway, so on we go.

Loved this plot line, the development of some of the supporting characters. Elly Griffiths manages some excellent twists and red herrings. Can’t wait to read the next instalment!

Ruth Galloway reunites  with Frank Barker to tell the story of a dead pilot found in a WW2 plane.
PROS:
  • Cathbad the dad!
  • Michelle becomes more than a “forgiving wife”
  • Good twist ending
CONS:
  • Getting exasperated with
    Ruth’s pining for Nelson.
