THE LAST REMAINS by Elly Griffiths (The Locked Room) is another (actually book
15) in the Ruth Galloway series. Here,
the archeologist and sometimes forensic consultant is called upon when a
skeleton is found behind an added wall in a local pub. Events of twenty years
ago, including some archeological studies and potentially inappropriate
relationship between a professor and student, feature in the efforts to verify
the identity and motive for a young woman’s disappearance. Ruth’s employment
situation and her relationship with DCI Harry Nelson also are moving towards a
resolution of sorts and mixed feelings play out in contrast to long ago events
when even Ruth’s Druid friend, Cathbad, was involved. Griffiths has succeeded
in tying up a number of loose ends … but will they unravel in the next book? THE
LAST REMAINS received well-deserved
starred reviews from Booklist and Publishers Weekly.
