I’m still enjoying this series, though I think it’s more for the character development than the myster, which is fine by me!

This series may not be life-changing, but it's such easy, enjoyable reading.

Another mystery for Ruth Galloway. This book centres more on the personal relationships of Tim, Cloughie and Frank, which I really enjoyed. Another bittersweet ending though - why can't Ruth just get over Nelson?

Really enjoy this series. I learn about English history a bit in each one - so fascinating. And this one -the plot was good, and the ongoing stories about the main characters were good - developing in interesting and not always linear ways. This one, with it's murky bits of family history going back centuries and the affection for the land on which the family lives, and the ever-present sea threatening to take it all back - dark and gloomy in places, and absolutely delightfully absurd in others (a duck boat plays a major role at near the end ...).
