It’s an essential addition to any crime fan’s library, and these addictive mysteries will keep you hooked until the very last page. There are ten books for you to read, including the following:

• The Crossing Places is Ruth’s first encounter with a killer. Called in to investigate a child’s bones on prehistoric salt marshes, she encounters DCI Harry Nelson, who is obsessed with a cold missing person case. When a child goes missing, Ruth is put into the firing line of a killer who knows she’s getting close to the truth.
• In The House at Sea’s End, Ruth must investigate how six bodies, all dating from World War II, came to be buried at the bottom of a north Norfolk cliff. In this ‘enthralling’ mystery (The Guardian), Ruth discovers how deep the secrets of her county’s history are buried.
• The Outcast Dead, ‘told with a deepening sense of the unease, seasoned with a touch of the occult’ (Daily Mail), sees Ruth tackle the legacy of claw-handed Victorian murderess Jemima Green, better known as Mother Hook. A missing child draws Ruth back to DCI Nelson and their investigation back into the past.
• Visions of the Virgin Mary lead to a murder investigation in The Woman in Blue, as atheist Dr Ruth Galloway is drawn into the Christian community of Walsingham, where two women have been found dead. Will they catch the killer before Easter, or will they strike again?
• The Dark Angel sees Ruth make a rare excursion out of Norfolk, on a working holiday to a small village in northern Italy. However, what starts as an archaeological curiosity quickly becomes a modern murder mystery, in another’ addictive’ (Sunday Express) mystery novel.

About the author

Elly Griffiths is the pen name of Domenica de Rosa. She says that the entire plot of the first novel, The Crossing Places, along with her iconic character Dr Ruth Galloway, appeared fully formed in her head while on holiday in Norfolk. It was suggested that you need a crime name to write crime fiction, and so Elly Griffiths was born.

She is also known for The Brighton Mysteries, set in her hometown and starring DI Stephens and magician Max Mephisto. Her novel The Stranger Diaries, featuring Detective Harbinder Kaur, won the Edgar Allan Poe Award, America’s most coveted crime fiction prize. The follow-up The Postscript Murders was shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger 2021. She writes The Girl Called Justice Stories for children, and has published several books of contemporary fiction under her own name, all set in Italy.

Griffiths has sold over 3 million books, and has made the Sunday Times Bestsellers chart nineteen times and counting. She has won many awards for her work, including the Mary Higgins Clark Award, the 2016 CWA Dagger in the Library, and several Dead Good Reader awards.
