About this listen

 FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR, THE 10TH DR RUTH GALLOWAY MYSTERY - CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF RUTH

'My favourite current crime series' Val McDermid

Dr Ruth Galloway is flattered when she receives a letter from Italian archaeologist Dr Angelo Morelli, asking for her help. He's discovered a group of bones in a tiny hilltop village near Rome but doesn't know what to make of them. It's years since Ruth has had a holiday, and even a working holiday to Italy is very welcome!

So Ruth travels to Castello degli Angeli, accompanied by her daughter Kate and friend Shona. In the town she finds a baffling Roman mystery and a dark secret involving the war years and the Resistance. To her amazement she also soon finds Harry Nelson, with Cathbad in tow. But there is no time to overcome their mutual shock - the ancient bones spark a modern murder, and Ruth must discover what secrets there are in Castello degli Angeli that someone would kill to protect

wonderful

... but not the best of this series, a bit long winded and quite a shallow story compared with the others.

Enjoyable...

For the next episode! Have just ‘re-read’ the series and can’t wait to hear what happens next.

I’ve read this whole series and am hooked this book however didn’t have the same depth. I’ll still be one of the first to buy the next in the series

Not quite up to par

I found this instalment gave a welcome lift to the series and for me it avoided the many pitfalls that many sequels can bring. Being largely set out of the UK and addressing in some sense Nelson’s split loyalties, it was a satisfying continuation of the characters’ stories.

Loved this one!
