This fourth in the series featuring Ruth Galloway and the Norfolk coast felt like meeting up with an old friend. In this book, Ruth's relationships with folks involved in the crime rather than her direct involvement in solving it take center stage. The roomful of bones from the title has to do with Aboriginal bones being kept in England, and the mystery centers around efforts to repatriate them. At the beginning of the book, I found the present tense in which Griffiths writes to be annoying and it separated me from the story, but as I became more involved in the plot, it faded into the background and I didn't notice it. Griffiths writes about the mysticism very well, and in the end leaves just enough to the imagination. As always, I am looking forward to her next book in the series.
