The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths
Whew. I thought I had lost my skill in reading after Winter Tide. But I tore through The Crossing Places in a day. Because reading is all about how fast you can read, right?
Ruth Galloway is a forensic Archeologist teaching at the university in Norfolk and living all alone at the edge of the Saltmarch. Detective Nelson comes across some bones that he think might be of a missing girl and would like Ruth to help identify. Thus brings Ruth into the world of being a detective. Because soon enough there is a second missing girl. It's not up to Ruth to solve the mystery but she's in the right place at the right time.
It's not an incredibly clever mystery but there is a good cast of interesting characters who all seem a bit shady. But the depiction of the Saltmarsh and it's perils and it's beauty is very evocative.
I'll be tackling the second book in the series today.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
