The Crossing Places (Ruth Galloway Mysteries) (Ruth Galloway Mysteries, 1)

The first entry in the acclaimed Ruth Galloway British crime series follows the "captivating"* archaeologist as she investigates a child’s bones found on a nearby beach, thought to be part of a decade-old cold case. Forensic archeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway is in her late thirties. She lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near the Norfolk coast, land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants―not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine days of digging up bones and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child’s bones are found on a desolate beach. In this gripping police procedural, Detective Chief Inspector Nelson calls Galloway for help, believing they are the remains of Lucy Downey, a little girl who went missing a decade ago and whose abductor continues to taunt him with bizarre letters containing references to ritual sacrifice, Shakespeare, and the Bible. Then a second girl goes missing and Nelson receives a new letter―exactly like the ones about Lucy. Is it the same killer? Or a copycat murderer, linked in some way to Ruth’s remote home? *Louise Penny
