A new series I will definitely want to read more from. Dr. Ruth Galloway is a forensic archaeologist who lives with her two cats near an isolated salt marsh. Ten years ago, she was involved in a dig of the area that revealed Iron Age settlements. Now she has been called in to identify a body. Detective Harry Nelson is still pursuing the disappearance of a little girl ten years ago. He is disappointed to learn that this body is Iron Age. But then another little girl disappears and letters start arriving with archaeological references that only Dr. Galloway can decipher. Fun page turner.
