‘The historical sections are well researched, and Griffiths not only succeeds in making the implausible plausible, but leaves enough narrative breadcrumbs to make us long for more.’
‘Think you know time-travel? Think again! Far more than just a detective story, this is a tale about time itself, with delicious connections that thread back and forth between 1850 and 2023. Elly Griffiths has weaved a corker of a mystery that gripped me from page one. Smart, original, and utterly masterful.’
‘Fresh and exciting with both humour and thrills, Griffiths’ first book in her new series knocks it out of the park’
‘A pleasure from finish to start’
‘If only all history mysteries could be as good as The Midnight Hour‘
‘Brilliantly plotted with complex mysteries to keep you turning the pages, there is also an intriguing cliff-hanger’
‘Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway series combines imaginative plotting, cleverly located in deepest Norfolk, with the everyday dramas of her case of regular characters . . . This is Griffiths on top form’
‘Lockdown provides a brilliant opportunity for Griffiths, bringing fresh drama into her characters’ lives and she makes the most of it’
