The Dark Angel

Author: Elly Griffiths

Ruth Galloway’s life is upended when an Italian archaeologist seeks her help with a medieval skeleton. Reluctantly drawn into a web of ancient secrets and modern danger, Ruth finds herself in the picturesque Italian town of Castello degli Angeli. As she unravels the mystery, she grapples with her feelings for DCI Nelson back home. Griffiths weaves a captivating tale of murder, history, and romance that kept me up late, savoring every twist. Her vivid descriptions transported me to sun-drenched Italy, and I found myself rooting for Ruth’s personal and professional triumphs.

Sometimes the past is the heaviest burden to carry.
