I’m starting THE HOUSE AT SEA’S END by Elly Griffiths. This is 3rd of 4 in series featuring Dr. Ruth Galloway, a forensic archaeologist, and Harry Nelson, a detective chief inspector, in the Saltmarsh area near Norfolk, England. Here is a description:
Just back from maternity leave, Ruth is finding it difficult to juggle motherhood and work. The presence of DCI Harry Nelson—the married father of her daughter, Kate—does not help. The bones, skeletons of six men with their arms bound, turn out to be about seventy years old, which leads Nelson and Ruth to the war years, a desperate time on this stretch of coastland. Home Guard veteran Archie Whitcliffe reveals the existence of a secret the old soldiers have vowed to protect with their lives. But then Archie is killed and a German journalist arrives, asking questions about Operation Lucifer, a plan to stop a German invasion, and a possible British war crime. What was Operation Lucifer? And who is prepared to kill to keep its secret?
It was published in January 2012 (US) and has 384 pages. I finished the previous book earlier this month and I didn’t really want to read this one so soon but it came loose from the library today and it’s a 14-day book so I have to read it or else go to the back of the list again. And I suppose I’ve read enough books in between to cleanse the palette.
Tonight I have The Voice to watch. With my bronchitis, overall I’m feeling better; still coughing and my ears pop in and out but definitely moving in the right direction. I’m tired after a full day at work and no chances of naps, but better.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
