What a book! Multiple plot lines, characters and locations with historical and cultural significance spanning 100 years.

Dr. Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist, must be my favourite fiction character ever!

Karen Rose hooks you by getting you invested in the lives of her main characters. Many you will meet time and again in different books and revisit their lives as new stories unfold.

There is a murder which is not that straight forward. There is a murderer but no other witnesses except the murderer herself. It is Sergeant Stephanie King’s job to unearth all the facts in the case to ensure a conviction that she, herself, is not entirely sure, is justified.

I always find myself filled with a sense of fear, trepidation and nervous excitement whenever I pick up one of Ania Ahlborn’s books to read.
