Dr Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist, spends a lot of time looking at death. But now death has found her, with the news that her long-time friend Dan Golding has been killed in a house fire.

Ruth's grief soon turns to suspicion of arson when she receives a desperate letter from Dan, sent the day before he died. He had made a ground-breaking discovery - and was petrified of the consequences.

Ruth is compelled to travel north to investigate further, alongside DCI Harry Nelson who is also drawn into the case. But where Ruth goes, so does her young daughter, Kate. This time, the risks are even higher.

Jane McDowell

Any additional comments?

I loved the story, but the narrator spoilt it for me. Her male voices were awful. Unfortunately I have already bought the next story and Clare Corbett is again the narrator. However, I shall not buy any further books in this series if she continues to read them.

Good story spoilt by bad narrator

Great to see the author back on form. In this book we discover more about our favourite characters from the previous books and also discover new characters added to the family. I have to say I loved Nelson's Mum and her interpretation of Cathbads name.



I bought this novel without reading any synopses as I like the author so much. So imagine my surprise settling down on my train trip to Blackpool from Scotland to discover the book set in and around the blackpool area, which brought the whole story alive for me as I knew where Ruth and Kate were located.



Superb read that had me laughing, crying and near the end so shocked I could hardly breath and shouting aloud "Oh NO!: If you read you may discover why lol.



I Highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed the plot, it kept me guessing. I didn’t enjoy the reading.
The reader had a good voice for Kate but awful voices for the men. I’m from Lancashire, near Pendle. The accent was dreadful and coupled with the attempt at a mans voice it made the Lancashire police officers sound slow and simple, as if they’d be incapable of solving anything. The voice they used for Cathbad as a Druid (I’m pagan) was far to drawn out, as if he was a bored priest! I would have preferred no accents or put on male voices to the ones presented here. It’s only because I like the Elly Griffiths books that I carried on listening after the first few minutes.

Plot good but reading disappointing

Falling out of love with these stories now. Not much archeology and not much love going on. I’ll not bother again

Tired story
