When a child's bones are found near an ancient henge in the wild
saltmarshes of Norfolk's north coast, Ruth Galloway, a university
lecturer in forensic archaeology, is asked to date them by DCI
Harry Nelson. He thinks they may be the bones of a child called
Lucy who has been missing for ten years. It's a cold case he has
never been able to forget, in part because he's been getting creepy
letters about Lucy ever since her disappearance from someone who
quotes the Bible and Shakespeare and includes references to ritual
and sacrifice. When Ruth proves that the bones are those of an Iron
Age girl who died over two thousand years ago, she supposes that
this is the end of the story. She's wrong: it's just the beginning
of a nightmare.
The Crossing Places is a gripping story about how the past, even
the distant past, can have a deadly hold on the present. It marks
the beginning of a stunning new mystery series, and the debut of an
intelligent, salty-tongued sleuth who is all the more likeable for
being vulnerable in ways she's the last to recognize.
"From the Hardcover edition."

Elly Griffiths captures the readers wildest imagination. You are kept spellbound from the cover of the book until the end. Her Fourth book "A room full of Bones" will be released in Jan 2012 in the UK. I can't wait.
I highly recommend that you buy all 3 her books, when you start reading, there's no way you can put it down.
