About this listen

 A bullet-ridden body is unearthed from a buried WWII plane. Dr Ruth Galloway must discover who the victim was - and who put him there.

When DCI Harry Nelson calls Ruth Galloway in to investigate a body found inside a buried fighter plane, she quickly realizes that the skeleton couldn't possibly be the pilot. DNA tests identify the man as Fred Blackstock, a local aristocrat who had been reported dead at sea.

Events are further complicated by a TV company that wants to make a film about Norfolk's deserted air force bases, the so-called Ghost Fields, which have been partially converted into a pig farm run by one of the younger remaining Blackstocks.

Then human bones are found on the farm and, as the greatest storm Norfolk has seen for decades brews in the distance, another Blackstock is attacked. Can the team outrace the rising flood to find the killer?

Critic Reviews

Elly Griffiths writes ever-more ingenious detective stories with a powerful sense of place and a varied cast of sympathetic and unusual characters. Her heroine is a winner
Griffiths weaves superstition and myth into her crime novels, skilfully treading a line between credulity and modern methods of detection

I really enjoyed this story. Lots of characters to follow and become confused by while trying to work out the killer. Also liked the little stories surrounding the individual characters and how their lives intertwine. I will definitely read more of Elly Griffiths books. I will start at the beginning of Ruth's adventures and work my way forward.

Love the characters and the setting of these books. Enjoyed this but not as much as the others. Less in the plot, maybe less historical context and layers.

Not as gripping as previous novels

Nice narration

This has to be one of the best series i have read and this latest installment is no different. Ruth is a truly wonderful character who has grown on me as would a life long friend. The stories are interesting and intelligent and not your normal cookie cut forensic thriller.

I do hope their are more to follow.. i will be waiting anxiously for more Ruth, Nelson, Judy, Cathbad, and all.

Another Great One from Elly Griffiths

We the audience can never quite guess what is coming.
Twists and turns are believable and entertaining.
Thoroughly enjoy the character development and the plot lines that continue from book to book!
