In The Dark Angel - the 10th in the Dr. Ruth Galloway series - Ruth is invited to Italy by an old friend, Professor Angelo Morelli, to investigate an excavation of a skeleton.
Accompanied by daughter Kate and friend Shona, Ruth soon finds herself caught up in secrets from the past and a present day murder.
As usual, Elly Griffiths gradually weaves a  story, with several different strands, building the tension towards a satisfying conclusion.
