The Zig Zag Girl was the not the only Elly Griffiths in the library when I visited on a whim after getting my flu jab. The doctor’s surgery is in the same complex. But, as all the titles on the

Book Review | The Postscript Murders by Elly Griffiths
Elly Griffiths published the Postscript Murders on October 1st! Is this too much competition for Princelings Revolution, or just a sign of a good date choice? Thank you to Net-Galley and Quercus Books for the chance to review an advance
Book Review | A Girl Called Justice by Elly Griffiths
A Girl Called Justice is for middle graders who like a good mystery. And Elly Griffiths (Ruth Galloway series, Brighton Mysteries) is READING IT ON FACEBOOK! She started 1st May, with the aim of finishing it May 14th when a
Book Review | The Stone Circle (Ruth Galloway #11)
The Stone Circle came out in February in the UK, and for once I hadn’t pre-ordered it. So when I was on NetGalley’s original site by accident and saw it on offer for readers, I jumped at the chance. This
Book Review | The Stranger Diaries by Elly Griffiths
The Stranger Diaries is not a Ruth Galloway novel. It’s not even a Stephens & Mephisto novel. It’s a new stand alone from Elly Griffiths, out on 1st November, and I’m very grateful to Net-galley and Quercus books for the
#Noirwich time again – Norwich’s crime festival
Norwich’s crime festival, christened Noirwich in its first year, has reached the grand old age of five. This year’s writing festival is as varied and exciting as ever, although I’m only going to the events on Sunday. Crime festival highlights
Book Reviews | An Elly Griffiths BookFest
Elly Griffiths published her tenth Ruth Galloway book in February. Despite having pre-ordered the paperback version from Amazon (due out in July), I got an ARC from NetGalley, and then wondered whether I was doing the right thing, since I
Book Reviews – two Norfolk crime novels
Two Norfolk crime novels were among the books I read in the Tackle TBR Readathon in September. The Outcast Dead is the sixth Ruth Galloway novel by Elly Griffiths, and A Siege of Bitterns is the first Birder Murder Mystery
Book Review | Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths
Dying Fall is number 5 in Elly Griffiths’ Ruth Galloway series, and it’s a cracking read. I discovered books 6 and 7 waiting on my shelf, purchased at Noirwich (when I met the author). It’s fair to say I’m a big
Book Review | A Room Full of Bones by Elly Griffiths
This is the fourth book in the Ruth Galloway mysteries, and I saw some reviewers found it either difficult to keep track of all these characters or they didn’t want so much back story referring to the previous volumes they’d
Noirwich – the reveal
I’ve spent the last four days engrossed in the crime writing festival that is Noirwich – book readings, author interviews, workshops and more in the wonderful City of Literature that is Norwich, UK. Headlines Packed house for Lee Child at
Book Reviews and #TackleTBR update day 6
This is my second update for my Tackle TBR challenge, and I thought I might as well give you some mini-reviews as well. This is a bit scary, because usually I do my review posts well in advance, then I don’t
The Return of Noirwich
The Norwich Festival of Crime Writing – or Noirwich – returns for another long weekend of talks, discussions and workshops in the beautiful settings of the UNESCO City of Literature – Norwich, Norfolk, UK. The dates are 17th to 20th
Book Review | The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths
Picking up The Janus Stone was such a relief – I was reading natural English with a sense of place that made me feel fully at home again. It was after the Victorian style of The Princess and Curdie and
Book Review: The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths
The Crossing Places opens on an archaelogical dig where the protagonist, Dr Ruth Galloway, discovers a body – but it is an Iron Age body preserved in the peat of the saltmarsh. Not all the bodies in this book are
