About this listen
Dr Ruth Galloway returns to the moody and beautiful landscape of North Norfolk to confront another killer. A devastating new case for our favourite forensic archaeologist in this acclaimed and best-selling crime series.
The Night Hawks, a group of metal detectorists, are searching for buried treasure when they find a body on the beach in North Norfolk. At first Nelson thinks that the dead man might be an asylum seeker, but he turns out to be a local boy, Jem Taylor, recently released from prison. Ruth is more interested in the treasure, a hoard of Bronze Age weapons. Nelson at first thinks that Taylor's death is accidental drowning, but a second death suggests murder.
Nelson is called to an apparent murder-suicide of a couple at the isolated Black Dog Farm. Local legend talks of the Black Shuck, a spectral hound that appears to people before they die. Nelson ignores this, even when the owner's suicide note includes the line, 'He's buried in the garden'. Ruth excavates and finds the body of a giant dog.
All roads lead back to this farm in the middle of nowhere, but the place spells serious danger for anyone who goes near. Ruth doesn't scare easily. Not until she finds herself at Black Dog Farm....

Great installment in this series
I was worried this series might have run out of puff by now, but really enjoyed the action, intrigue and character development in this latest book. Bring on the next one, please!

Liked it but...
Have been awaiting this further instalment in the Ruth Galloway series. Liked it but didn't feel quite the suspense and intrigue Id been hoping for. Still keen to read Elly Griffiths and of course the question now is... do Ruth and Nelson finally get together or are we left forever wondering?.

Back to the Best of Dr Ruth Galloway
In the last couple of books I was finding the whole Ruth / Nelson drama a bit tedious, and threatening to ruin a good story.
But, book 13 and Ruth is back on form. Of course, she’d never be asked by any police force to dig up a backyard looking for a body - that’s what cadaver dogs and crime scene officers are for, but never let police procedure get in the way of a device to get Ruth and Nelson together.
This one has almost nothing to do with archaeology, which is a shame, but it’s still a good listen. The narrator, as ever, is very good.
