Critics Review
One of my current favourite crime series … a pleasure from start to finish - Val McDermid
Ruth Galloway is one of the most engaging characters in modern crime fiction - Kate MosseGriffiths has become a dab hand at plotting and cranking up the tension. The murders, and the muddled humanity of the characters, keep us turning the pages - IndependentCrime that doesn’t sacrifice good writing and clever characterisation for the sake of the plot - Red MagazineElly Griffiths writes ever-more ingenious detective stories with a powerful sense of place and a varied cast of sympathetic and unusual characters. Her heroine is a winner. - The TimesGriffiths weaves superstition and myth into her crime novels, skilfully treading a line between credulity and modern methods of detection - Sunday TimesGriffiths has that rare ability to write simple and unaffected prose which has a powerful impact, and her work is proof that it is often the lightest of touches which pierces the deepest. - Crime Fiction LoverAbout The Author
