As always, this book has satisfied my need to find out what's happening in the life of Ruth Galloway, forensic anthropologist, and the mysteries she always becomes embroiled with. This one involves the drug trade, New Zealand aboriginals, repatriation of missing bones, and ancient curses. A great read.

Love Ruth Galloway and her complicated life. Enjoyed this one with it's many layers of complications and states of being - and her ongoing relationships with the people in her life.

This series is just pure pleasure. I love Ruth and Nelson and how even the side characters have interesting storylines. The mysteries are compelling and there’s just enough an element of mysticism to give it a bit of a Gothic feel. This one is about unearthing the remains of a Bishop, stolen Aboriginal bones being repatriated, and shady things going on at the Smith family’s stables. Can’t wait to read more in the series.
