Even though A Saintly Grave Disturbed is a short story it didn't feel rushed which was lovely. I enjoy novellas but sometimes the story either ends abruptly or you don't get enough time to get a feel for the characters.
The story moves quickly and managed to keep me on my toes I enjoyed seeing Detective Inspector Jeff Lincoln look into both crimes. Along with following the events at archaeology dig and seeing how everything begins to possibly connect. It's a tangled web of secrets that slowly but surely begins to unravel. It was great to try and figure things out even though I didn't necessarily get everything right. There were some great twists and turns that kept the momentum of the story going.
A great story showcasing DI Jeff Lincoln, making me interested in reading a full length story.
Four stars from me!
