Summary
WINNER OF THE 2016 CWA DAGGER IN THE LIBRARY. Halloween night, and the dead are closer than ever for Dr Ruth Galloway. She is used to long-dead bodies, but a fresh corpse in the middle of a museum is a new challenge. The fourth beguiling Dr Ruth Galloway mystery.
'A wonderfully rich mix of ancient and contemporary' Guardian
It is Halloween in King's Lynn, and forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway is attending a strange event at the local history museum - the opening of a coffin containing the bones of a medieval bishop. But then Ruth finds the body of the museum's curator lying beside the coffin.
Soon the museum's wealthy owner lies dead in his stables too. These two deaths could be from natural causes but DCI Harry Nelson isn't convinced, and it is only a matter of time before Ruth and Nelson cross paths once more.
When threatening letters come to light, events take an even more sinister turn. But as Ruth's friends become involved, where will her loyalties lie? As her convictions are tested, she and Nelson must discover how Aboriginal skulls, drug smuggling and the Aboriginal ritual of The Dreaming may hold the answer to these deaths - and be the key to their own survival.

Too much spooky pagan stuff
See above. Characters as good as ever and happy ending. Don’t like the knocking of Christianity

The key relationships between the main characters
Disappointing compared to books 1-3. The storyline was full of twists but seemed fanciful in order to fulfil the plot. The characterisation was poor.

love, love, love this series!
The characters are so relatable, interesting and 'real'. I love that the central character is a strong woman, who is perfectly imperfect. Another joyous listen🥰

Love the storyline Just about to continue with next episode. A lot of catching up to do.
I love everything about these books, the storyline, the continuous delving into each characters lives and issues past and present. Each story brings you closer to the characters and you like or dislike them. I love the way that the personal issues are as real as any of us might have struggled with over time, therefore making the people real for me. Well read, well written.
