This is a very good compendium of stories and Griffith’s skill goes beyond the world of Ruth and Nelson. I enjoyed the stories where she wove in archeological processes and facts, in particular, but they were all strong short stories.

Consistently good

A few sneaky Ruth Galloway stories, absolutely loved this book of short stories, read really well.

Love Elly Griffiths and Ruth Galloway
