I really enjoyed book one in the Carla James series - "Death Rites" and "Quiet Bones" follows hot on its heels with another mystery revolving around the history of Jericho and its odd inhabitants.
I get real Twin Peaks vibes about the setting for these thrillers, there's so many secrets waiting to be uncovered and I get a real sense of unease about the people and what is hidden beneath the surface.
Much like Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway series i am really enjoying the archaeologist meets police set up and our main character, Carla James has good insights with the historical elements. She doesn't have good instincts though and makes so many rookie errors that you have to suspend belief a little but despite that I really enjoyed this one and will continue reading future instalments to the series.
