Summary
From the Sunday Times best-selling author, the 10th Dr Ruth Galloway mystery - celebrating 10 years of Ruth.
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.

A great listen, excellent work!
The trouble with each new Ruth Galloway title by Elly Griffiths that I purchase on pre-order is that as soon as it's in my account I must listen to it in large chunks, and then I am left waiting for the next title!
Book 10 has a different landscape, which was a really interesting insight, the subject matter is interesting, and I can always relate Ruth's concerns and worries. Another excellent listen, when is book 11 being released?

Another superb listen
Credit must go to Jane McDowell who does such a fabulous job of bringing Elly Griffiths' excellent writing to life. Her articulation and diction is so perfect it's a balm for my ears. Of course, Dr Ruth Galloway has got to be one of my most favourite ever characters. Her creation, by the talented Ms Griffiths, is so impressive. Dr Galloway is so knowledgeable, so erudite and so dedicated to her chosen career. It's hard sometimes, to hear her thoughts of self-denigration. How she feels she's too fat or too untidy and it's utterly credible. No matter how successful a woman may be, she's always going to beat herself up if she's not a size 10 and dressed from head to toe is top fashion. Yet Dr Galloway has so much to offer the world. I so want her to end up with Nelson, it would be good for both of them. This whole series is just too divine for words and I certainly can't express myself in the way Ms Griffiths can. But Dr Galloway is good for my soul and heart and I can only advise you to buy every book in the series as it's perfection. 5 stars just doesn't seem enough.

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

Book 10 - one of the best
I have read the whole series of Ruth Gallagher books in the last 6 weeks and feel like she is almost part of the family! To be honest, I’m so gripped by the Michelle-Ruth-Nelson triangle, that the mystery parts are almost an afterthought. I do enjoy the variety of crimes though and I can never work out ‘whodunnit’. Highly recommend this series, read them in order and immerse yourself in Norfolk life.

fine story, well read, a bit too soap opera for me
I'm sure there are people who will get a great deal of pleasure from this book I have to say the crime story was up to the authors usual high standard. I do not have much patience with life's minutiae and too much of this story was taken up by this for my taste.
