Kannen kuvailut siitä, kuinka Aavekentät on yksi parhaista osista tässä kirjasarjassa, ei kyllä pitänyt paikkansa. Vaikka tämäkin oli hyvä, puuttui sellainen vetävyys ja pakko kääntää sivuja.

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.

As they were largely focused on historic crimes, this book had less of a pacy feel than the previous in the series and the family tree did get a bit confusing for me, but still another enjoyable read!

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’s pining for Nelson.
