Pandemic lockdowns have Ruth Galloway feeling isolated from everyone but a new neighbor—until Nelson comes calling, investigating a decades-long string of murder-suicides that’s looming ever closer, in USA Today Elly Griffiths’ penultimate novel in the beloved series.
Three years after her mother’s death, Ruth is finally sorting through her things when she finds a curious relic: a decades-old photograph of her own Norfolk cottage—before she lived there—with a peculiar inscription on the back. Ruth returns to the cottage to uncover its meaning as Norfolk’s first cases of Covid-19 make headlines, leaving her and Kate to shelter in place there. They struggle to stave off isolation by clapping for frontline workers each evening and befriending a kind neighbor, Zoe, from a distance.
Meanwhile, Nelson is investigating a series of deaths of women that may or may not be suicide. When he links a case to an archaeological discovery, he breaks curfew to visit Ruth and enlist her help. But the further Nelson investigates the deaths, the closer he gets to Ruth’s isolated cottage—until Ruth, Zoe, and Kate all go missing, and Nelson is left scrambling to find them before it’s too late.

Blev förvånad över druidens namns uttal. På svenska har uppläsare uttalat det Kaaba. Medan i denna bok, på engelska, Cathbad. Tog ett tag att vänja mig.

Telefonrösten i samtal med Ruth G är vidrigt skrällig o går knappt att höra! Varför förstöra en bra bok!?

En av de bästa i den oemotståndliga serien. Läser ofta romaner på engelska men brukar inte lyssna. Den här uppläsaren med behaglig röst och perfekt diktion var en fröjd och gav mersmak. Fortsätter nog på engelska. Har f ö sett och hört förtjusande charmiga Ellie Griffiths på Crimetime. Hon kommer i år igen, rekommenderas!

Ruth G. med vänner är alltid lika efterlängtade återseenden. Nu får jag igen vänta på nästa del av deras liv. Snart är det nog dags att läsa om hela serien - kanske nästa sommar.
