This book kind of makes me want to become an archeologist lol. This is my fifth book that I’ve read by Griffiths that’s been a mystery and it is definitely her best so far and I’m super intrigued by the beginning of this series.
I loved the setting of the story. It made me want to visit the Saltmarsh and stay in an Airbnb and participate in a dig to find bones and ancient artifacts.
It was written in 2009 so there are some annoying things that happen in the book, like how Ruth is so overweight (even though she’s literally a size 12) and it’s mentioned consistently throughout the book by her. By the end, you get used to it, but it just kept making my eyes roll. But I loved Ruth, she’s a badass and smart and even funny at points. The ending? I don’t know about it, but we’ll see where that plot line ends up.
I honestly can’t wait to continue in the series.
