Book Description
Just back from maternity leave, forensic archeologist Ruth is finding it hard to juggle motherhood and work when she is called in to investigate human bones that have surfaced on a remote Norfolk beach. The presence of DCI Harry Nelson, the married father of her daughter, does not help. The bones, six men with their arms bound, turn out date back to World War II, 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?

My Review
This was a reread and I enjoyed it the first time and the second time too. I love the characters in this series. They have become like friends and I love as each book is written that we get another peek at their lives. The plot in this book was a bit weaker than the rest but all in all it was a good story. The clues to the killer were a bit late coming and therefore made it hard for the reader to guess until the very end of the book. I will continue with the series and I do recommend reading these books in order as the storyline does build one upon the other.
