In this first novel in the series, Dr. Ruth Galloway is called in to investigate the bones of a child found on a beach near her home. The bones are believed to be the remains of a girl who went missing ten years earlier. As Ruth investigates, she uncovers a dark secret and becomes entangled in a dangerous situation. Decent character development but again just a bit too many breadcrumbs.
