As he said these words the entire plot of The Crossing Places appeared, full formed, in my head and, walking towards me out of the mist, I saw Dr Ruth Galloway. It was a chance remark of my husband's that gave me the idea for the first in the series, The Crossing Places. Well, Ruth finding a dead body at the local museum provides the professional excuse for them to again interact.

I thought the part of the animal rights activist was negatively portrayed and it didn't ring true that someone who cared about animals so much would be happy to make their money from a horse racing yard also Cathbad being vegetarian but wearing fur didn't seem to make sense. A Room Full of Bones also develops ongoing character storylines and relationships, including that between Ruth and DI Nelson, who is the father of her one-year-old daughter, Kate.

Doctor Ruth Galloway, Head of Forensic Archaeology at the University of North Norfolk, is not thinking about coffins or journalists or even about whether she will encounter DCI Harry Nelson at the Smith Museum.Don't know what happened to the first review I wrote probably did something while playing with my phone! I've read a stand-alone by this author and she did a decent job but this series of hers is just terrible and I can't believe her publisher continues with it! She has an uncomfortable relationship with her parents, born again Christians who, while adoring their granddaughter Kate, are voluably certain that Ruth will go to hell for having a child out of wedlock. The Local History room seems to be empty apart from a coffin on a trestle table and a body lying beside it. The dialogues and thoughts of the characters are repetitive, the characters are boring and selfish, the relationships between them shallow and the situations most of the time ridiculous!
