The Janus Stone -by Elly Griffiths
This book caught my attention because there seemed something familiar about it. A woman who digs up bones for a living and has a “thing” for her police-officer/co-worker. It had a very familiar sound to it...Oh yeah! It sounded like the show I love to watch every week “Bones!” But this was by a Brittish author, not Kathy Reichs, so could it be better? To be honest, I'm a huge “Bones” TV show fan, but the books I have found boring and predictable. This is one of those rare occasions I thank screenwriters for working with authors. So could this Elly Griffiths keep my interest?
Well, I must say, I have found my “British Bones,” Ruth Galloway. She is bright, savvy, and the cast of characters that join her in The Janus Stone, are all very colorful bunch! The book is extremely well written and covers a variety of areas from Roman archeology to Druid rituals. It wasn't overly predictable, and it was overall, very interesting. This is the second Galloway book by Griffiths, and hopefully the series will continue.
