Read this for book club and I think I found a new series to follow! While I have a few questions or grievances, I overall adored this read and I already can’t wait to read the next one. The mystery is morbid without being overly gruesome but it still shakes you, which in my opinion, is one of the best sorts of fictional mysteries to read. Highly recommend if you’re into cozy mysteries with a touch of archaeology.
