The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths

3.0

This is my first book by this author. Which this is the seventh Ruth Galloway novel. Not to worry as this book can be read as a stand alone novel. Although I did feel that I suffered a little by not having read the other books in this series. This is because I did not experience a great connection towards Ruth and the other main characters in this book. I found Ruth to be just ok. Nothing too special about her or her skills as an archaeologist. I was not leaning towards this book because of the plot. It sounded intriguing. It was fine but it lacked more excitement. The story just read at an even, steady pace with no surprise moments. So between the conversations of the characters in their person lives and the story lacking some, I found myself sort of skimming through this book as my form of reading it.
