'Galloway now seems as real as Marple and Morse' The Times 'I've never before read a crime novel in which archaeology and detection blend as successfully as in The Crossing Places' Shots Dr Ruth Galloway is called in when a child's bones are discovered near a prehistoric site on the north Norfolk salt marshes. Are they the remains of a local girl who disappeared ten years earlier - or are the bones much older? DCI Harry Nelson refuses to give up the hunt for the missing girl. Since she vanished, someone has been sending him creepy anonymous notes about ritual sacrifice. He knows that Ruth's expertise and experience could help him finally to put this case to rest.

First of a series featuring Ruth Galloway, an archaeologist who is fat, single, has cats, lives alone in a desolate place. Enough said.
Some very strange sensibilities. Slow paced and sort of bleak, but it's very atmospheric. Definitely good fall book (maybe late fall heading into winter).
I enjoyed this much more than I hoped I would. On to the next.
Interesting start became a bit predictable and overwrought.
