The House at Sea's End (Ruth Galloway Series, Book #3) by Elly Griffiths
Just back from maternity leave, forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is finding it hard to juggle motherhood and work when she is called in to investigate human bones that have surfaced on a remote Norfolk beach. The presence of DCI Harry Nelson, the married father of her daughter, does not help. The bones, six men with their arms bound, turn out to date back to World War II, a desperate time on this stretch of coast.
Home Guard veteran Archie Whitcliffe reveals the existence of a secret the old soldiers have vowed to protect with their lives. But then Archie is killed and a German journalist arrives, asking questions about Operation Lucifer, a plan to stop a German invasion, and a possible British war crime. What was Operation Lucifer? And who is prepared to kill to keep it secret?

The Janus Stone (Ruth Galloway Series, Book #2) by Elly Griffiths
It's been only a few months since forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway found herself entangled in a missing child case, barely escaping with her life. But when construction workers demolishing a large old mansion to make way for a new development uncover the bones of a child beneath a doorway -- minus its skull -- Ruth is once again called upon to investigate. Is it a Roman-era ritual sacrifice, or is the killer close at hand?
When carbon dating proves that the child's bones predate the home and relate to a time when the house was privately owned, Ruth is drawn more deeply into the case. But as spring turns into summer, it becomes clear that someone is trying very hard to put her off the trail by frightening her, and her unborn child, half to death.
