I am hooked! But now I have read them all,ok, I have not, but someone is sitting on book 8! Omg, just return it already! I have all the rest reserved, and want them now.




Dead pilot, creepy weird estate, and almost 6 years have gone by from book 1. Her daughter turns 5 in this one. Cathbad and Judy is getting another kid. The years sure have gone by.




And again, it makes me wonder if Ruth ever gets a second chance with Nelson.




Great mystery again, did not see it all coming. I am on such a mystery high. Totally recommend these





Norfolk is suffering from record summer heat when a construction crew unearths a macabre discovery—a downed World War II plane with the pilot still inside. Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway quickly realizes that the skeleton couldn’t possibly be the pilot, and DNA tests identify the man as Fred Blackstock, a local aristocrat who had been reported dead at sea. When the remaining members of the Blackstock family learn about the discovery, they seem strangely frightened by the news.



Events are further complicated by a TV company that wants to make a film about Norfolk’s deserted air force bases, the so-called Ghost Fields, which have been partially converted into a pig farm run by one of the younger Blackstocks. As production begins, Ruth notices a mysterious man lurking on the outskirts of Fred Blackstock’s memorial service. Then human bones are found on the family’s pig farm. Can the team outrace a looming flood to find a killer?

  1. Oh, the hopes for Nelson! I'm hoping, too, and I haven't even read the series, lol!

    It is annoying when people don't turn their library copy back in good time.
