“The Crossing Places” by Elly Griffiths is the book up for discussion at 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12, at the Sequim Library, 630 N. Sequim Ave. All are welcome to drop in and participate.

In the book, forensic archeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway lives happily alone with her two cats in a bleak, remote area near Norfolk, a land that was sacred to its Iron Age inhabitants — not quite earth, not quite sea. But her routine days of digging up artifacts and other ancient objects are harshly upended when a child’s bones found on a desolate beach are bizarrely linked to a case involving a disturbed letter writer and missing child.

Copies of “The Crossing Places” are available at the Sequim Library in various formats including regular print and audiobook on CD. They can be requested online by visiting the library catalog at www.nols.org.
