Ruth is someone I would love to have as a friend. She is intelligent, academic, and has a wide range of interests. You could have a wide ranging conversation with her and never be bored. Nelson's wife, Michelle, is pretty but very shallow. When the whole Michelle & Tim situation explodes into view, Ruth ends up wondering what two intelligent complex men could possibly see in Michelle. I guess Michelle is the obvious choice if you are fixated on physical appearance. For me, attraction is a complex mix of appearance, sense of humour, intelligence, kindness, and interests. Just being handsome is not nearly enough. If I was to go speed dating, I'd be asking questions about his last vacation destination, if he speaks a language besides English, or how he spent his last weekend. That intimate, once-in-a-lifetime Vermeer exhibition drew accolades from media worldwide and attracted long lines of visitors, many of whom braved the freezing temperatures and snow that enveloped Washington that winter. Two extended federal government shutdowns and an enormous blizzard that closed the Gallery for days only heightened public interest in this remarkable event.

In the beginning of this novel, Cathbad is house-sitting and cat-sitting at a friend'a cottage in Walsingham. Cathbad is chasing after the cat as it manages to slip out an open window, when Cathbad notices a beautiful young woman in blue in the graveyard next to the cottage. Who is she and what is she doing out late at night or is this one of Cathbad's visions and the woman is a sighting of the Virgin Mary which Walsingham is known for with its religious pilgrims.

In this one, Griffiths makes no real attempt to bring Ruth in officially. Instead, one of the women priests attending the conference just happens to be an old friend of Ruth's so, when she starts receiving threatening letters, of course she takes them to Ruth. Well, if you were being threatened, of course you'd go to an archaeologist you knew vaguely from University decades ago rather than to the police, wouldn't you? You wouldn't? No, neither would I. The United States gives money to other countries to have women in peacekeeping because we know that they make a difference,” she points out. The story is set in a medieval town known as England's Nazareth, a place known for religious phenomena. Cathbad, a druid friend of Ruth Galloway (the "star" of the series), notices a woman in a blue cloak in a cemetery at night and believes her to be the Virgin Mary. But when a woman wearing a blue cloak is found murdered the next day, there doesn't appear to be any connection to religion. Then, one of Ruth's friends who's an Anglican priest starts getting threatening letters - women simply shouldn't be priests, the writer asserts - and not long thereafter, another female priest is murdered. As if to remind us of the depth and duration of the human engagement behind those abstract signs, Matisse includes other images on the wall, like the drawing of Delectorskaya, Head of a Woman with Chin in Palm (1937; Pushkin Museum, Moscow), executed a few months earlier. This work on paper belongs to a long series of related images, all variations of her wearing a collar, jabot, and other parts of this complex outfit of her design.

Philadelphia Museum of Art, 2013-15-1Reader favorite, druid priest Cathbad, is cat sitting in Little Walsingham. It is a religious place for many people. He doesn't think too much of it when he sees a mysterious lady in white with a blue cape walking the cemetery in the late hours of the evening; maybe he was one of the fortunate to capture a glimpse of the Virgin Mary. However, a woman's body is discovered the next morning and Cathbad may be the last person to see her alive. DCI Harry Nelson, Clough, and Tim are all on the scene trying to piece together what happened to the woman in blue who just so happens to be a high profile young model. A young model who happens to be a patient at the local rehab facility. Media attention means the Superintendent's attention and the killer must be found. This is my favorite mystery series right now. The protagonist is Ruth Galloway, a professor of archaeology, in Norfolk England. She gets involved in police investigations when bones are found and need to be dated. Are they from the 1300's or 2016? This is not a problem in CA, so I find it completely fascinating. She has a young daughter, Kate, and a good friend, Cathbad, who is a druid.
