Summary

WINNER OF THE 2016 CWA DAGGER IN THE LIBRARY.

The shadow of the Second World War looms dark over the third chilling mystery for Dr Ruth Galloway. Some buried secrets shouldn't be uncovered.

'A melancholy setting, an eerie discovery, a lone investigator... perfect for the long winter evening' Financial Times

Dr Ruth Galloway is called in by a team of archaeologists investigating coastal erosion on the north Norfolk coast, when they unearth six bodies buried at the foot of a cliff. They seem to have been there a very long time. Ruth must help discover how long, and how on earth they got there.

Ruth and DCI Nelson are drawn together once more to unravel the past. Tests reveal that the bodies have lain, preserved in the sand, for sixty years. The mystery of their deaths stretches back to the Second World War, a time when Great Britain was threatened by invasion.

Ruth thought she knew the history of Norfolk - she's about to find out just how wrong she was, and how far someone will go to keep their secrets buried.

Good clear voice,

Nothing really , easy to listen to, lots of recaps in case you’d forgotten who the characters are as they are reintroduced.

Always ends with you wanting more....

The stories are well researched and interesting...as with any good mystery story they keep you guessing "who done it". The books are not overly graphic and gory but leave you with a clear idea of what it could be like ... and as with any series of books the main characters are slowly developing book by book. There is a romance element and this keeps altering. I enjoyed this book and want to read/ listen to more....
