mysterious tense medium-paced

Oikein oivallinen mysteeri, jälleen kerran! Edellisen kirjan ja tämän välissä on kahden vuoden aikahyppy, joka oli mielestäni aika ärsyttävä ja hidasti kirjaan uppoamista. Ikävöin Cloughia, joka ei tässä kirjassa kuulu tiimiin.

Ruth on ihana, kuten aina, ja tykkään Judyn kehittymisestä johtajana, Nelsonin pehmenemisestä ja Cathbadista kokonaisuutena, kuten aina. Oli myös paljon arkeologiaa, mistä pisteet. Kirja tuntui kuitenkin kokonaisuutena aika sekavalta ja henkilöitä oli todella paljon.

One of the better installments in the series. A tight, Charles Manson-esque mystery which felt connected to the interpersonal stuff for a change. And there was only one comment about weight, immediately followed up by the character saying she didn't want to pass her body issues down to her daughter. Growth! I bet people are tired of the forbidden longing between the two main characters by now, but I'm not and think that and the blended family drama is the most interesting part in the books. BUT WHEN WILL THEY GET TOGETHER

This was one of my favourites in the series so far! I just love the regular characters, watching Ruth & Nelson’s relationship develop and the mystery in this was brilliant.
