[b: The Bone Shroud|39096071|The Bone Shroud|Jean Rabe|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1520644146l/39096071._SY75_.jpg|60677289] This is the first book I've read by Jean Rabe, and it will certainly be the first of many! It was a great choice during a time that escaping into a book is the best way to cope with the reality of the 2020 pandemic. I loved the history of unfamiliar religions; she provided just the right amount of insight along with the fast pace of the plot Jean's descriptions of the city's underground world were so realistic that I could smell the dampness (and felt a bit claustrophobic in the tunnels...). I hope there is to be a sequel with more adventures for Irem the archivist, and yes, a bit of character growth as she learns more about archeology and perhaps, to make smarter decisions while investigating! A new-to-me author to add to the want-to-read list. ( )
