Review: A Room Full of Bones (Ruth Galloway Mysteries, #4)
Gaby Meares
Oh,dear. I soooo wanted to love this….It’s ok, but it’s not great. The problem with this series is the repetition of information. If you’ve read the three previous books, you’ve going to have to bear with Griffiths filling in for readers she assumes are starting with the fourth book in the series!
Ruth, supposedly a forensic archeologist with a doctorate, seems to be really kinda thick! She doesn’t seem to know her stuff at all. I cannot believe someone who is a university lecturer in her field has never heard about repatriation of human remains to their rightful indigenous community.
I think Griffiths should shift the focus of this series from Ruth to Cathbad, who is a far more intriguing character.
