'My favourite current crime series . . . a pleasure from start to finish' Val McDermid

Boiled human bones have been found in Norwich's web of underground tunnels. When forensic archaeologist Dr Ruth Galloway discovers the bones aren't as old as originally thought, it's time for DCI Nelson to launch a murder inquiry. What was initially just a medieval curiosity has taken a much more sinister nature...

Meanwhile, DS Judy Johnson is investigating the disappearance of a local rough sleeper. The only trace of her is the rumour that she's gone 'underground'. This might be a figure of speech, but with the discovery of the bones and the stories both Ruth and the police have heard of a vast community of rough sleepers living in the old chalk-mining tunnels under Norwich, the clues point in only one direction. Local academic Martin Kellerman knows all about the tunnels and their history - but can his assertions of cannibalism and ritual killing possibly be true?

As the weather gets hotter, tensions rise. A local woman goes missing and the police are under attack. Ruth and Nelson must unravel the dark secrets of The Underground and discover just what gruesome secrets lurk at its heart - before it claims another victim.

Wie immer finde ich die Geschichte um Ruth Galloway und ihre Umgebung sehr interessant und menschlich berührend. Leider spricht mich die Leserin mit ihrer oft zu leidend klingenden Betonung gar nicht an.

Wieder eine interessante Geschichte

Ohne Musik und Telefongeräusche (dann wurde es schwierig alles zu verstehen) wärs perfekt gewesen.

I enjoyed all the Ruth books. For the last 2 there is music at the beginning and the end of the book which I really don’t like. It’s too loud, too sudden. It keeps giving me a scare after the calm reading voice. Wish they wouldn’t Di that.

Very good story - sound effects distracting

Über den Inhalt wird man freilich geteilter Meinung sein, aber die Sprecherin kann nicht gefallen:
Sie schmatzt und schluckt sehr oft hörbar und die Sprachmelodie regt zum sofortigen Tiefschlaf an - ihre Vorgängerin in dieser Buchreihe hätte weiter machen sollen!

Ruth G. kommt kaum vor - schade!
