I decided to start at the beginning of Ruth’s saga and work my way to the end. Ruth and Nelson have met and had a one night stand with the reason that Ruth is now pregnant. Ruth, determined to keep her baby, will soon be forty years old. All she wants is this miracle baby, but of course, Ruth must continue working. Ruth new job involves identifying the skeleton of a baby, a cat, and a very young girl. All have been killed and beheaded in some ancient ritual, but the skeletons are fairly recent. Now begins the investigation to find the why and who. Nelson discovers Ruth budding pregnancy and vows to help financially, remember Nelson is married and has two daughters. Archaeology hinges on interesting stories and too many tedious details. Ruth pushes on in aiding the murder investigation and puts herself and her unborn baby in harms way. An interesting story. ( ) The Janus Stone is Book #2 in the Dr. Ruth Galloway series written by Elly Griffiths. “It’s been only a few months since archaeologist Ruth Galloway found herself entangled in a missing persons case, barely escaping with her life. But when construction workers demolishing a large old house in Norwich uncover the bones of a child beneath a doorway—minus its skull—Ruth is once again called upon to investigate. Is it a Roman-era ritual sacrifice, or is the killer closer at hand?” The Janus Stone is very tense, very suspenseful. The author superbly weaves together historical, archeological and mythological information, detective/police work, stunning locations and interesting, realistic characters and plots. There is also a map. I love maps. I quite like this title and the series. I can’t wait to move on to Book #3. The House at Sea’s End. ***** I actually enjoyed this one just as much as The Crossing Places. The characters built upon the foundations that were laid in the previous book, and the plot line was more front and centre. I'm hoping this trend continues through the remaining books, as I'm keen to see how things develop with the characters. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML:Cuando los obreros que están llevando a cabo las tareas de demolición de una vieja casa en Norwich descubren el esqueleto incompleto de un niño, la arqueóloga forense Ruth Galloway intenta esclarecer su procedencia. ¿Se trata de un sacrificio ritual llevado a cabo por nuestros ancestros o de la víctima de un asesinato? Ruth intentará averiguarlo junto al detective Harry Nelson. La casa fue un orfanato en la década de 1970, y el sacerdote que lo dirigía aporta nuevas pistas al recordar la desaparición de dos hermanos, un niño y una niña, a los que nunca encontraron. La curiosidad de Ruth aumenta y ni siquiera las molestias de su embarazo impedirán que se implique en el caso. Sin embargo, pronto se dará cuenta de que alguien está dispues No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
