“Ruth Galloway is solitary, plum and smart and self-assured, and very, very likeable.”
“…bone-chilling stuff.”
“A melancholy setting, an eerie discovery, a lone investigator…perfect for the long winter evenings.”
“Griffiths is brilliant on the eerie landscape of the Norfolk coast.”
“A memorable, breathless race against time…One of the most cinematic finales in recent British crime novels.”
“Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie and has a feeling for showfolk worthy of Ngaio Marsh.”
“…rich in plot, character and setting, heralds an exciting new voice on the crime scene.”
“Have just discovered Elly Griffith’s Ruth Galloway series which I love.”
“The lively beginning broadens out into an excellent whodunit, matched by the terrific down-at-heel atmosphere of postwar Brighton.”
“Told with a deepening sense of unease, seasoned with a touch of the occult, it is no surprise that BBC television are developing it as a series.”
