The House at Sea's End (Ruth Galloway #3) by Elly Griffiths

Ruth shivers, not entirely from the cold. Who would bury bodies here, in this inaccessible spot? The bodies are bound, their hands tied behind their backs.

WHEN BONES ARE UNEARTHED at the foot of a north Norfolk cliff, forensics expert Dr Ruth Galloway and DCI Nelson are put on the case. The skeletons have lain there for decades, possibly since the Second World War, and for all that time a hideous crime has been concealed.

When a body washes up on the beach, it becomes clear that someone wants the truth of the past to stay buried, and will go in any lengths to keep it that way. Can Ruth and Nelson uncover the truth in time to stop another murder?
