A question for Elly Griffiths fans

FoghornLeghorn

I’ve enjoyed the entire Ruth Galloway series. However, if you know north Norfolk well you do have to suspend your knowledge of the geography as she takes a lot of licence with places and distances. Ruth travels the oddest routes between places and seems to cover distances in record time.

I agree, FoghornLeghorn, about the places & distances!
We live about 40 miles from King's Lynn, & our little holiday home is in a remote spot on the NW Norfolk coast............!?

I've read several of the earlier books in the Ruth Galloway series. I've obviously missed more books than I realised, as I see that there are 15, including the recent last one in this series.
I'd like to read them in order, maybe I need to go back to the beginning!

gillgran - it’s like happy valley, minus the terror, going back and rereading the series.

Oh, I didn't realize King's Lynn was an actual town. Off to google maps I go...

I love the internet and the wonderful Google Maps; it allows me to be an armchair traveller.

King’s Lynn is a glory

Coming in November
There is going to be stunning companion to Elly Griffiths' beloved crime series, the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries, and a photographic journey through magical Norfolk.

Norfolk, a land of peaceful broads, marshy fens, sprawling coastline and shady brecks, is the home of Dr Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist. A place steeped in folklore and history, visibly shaped by the lives of those who have come before, it has become an integral character in Elly Griffiths' bestselling crime series.

In this book Elly takes us through a year in the Norfolk landscape, featuring the fascinating locations that have inspired her series and her writing.

From seascapes to farmlands, wetlands to woodlands, churches to cottages, this beautiful book captures Norfolk in all its glorious variety and is the perfect gift for any Elly Griffiths fan

Forgot to add it’s called NORFOLK!

Has anyone else tried the audiobook version? I have just started again on -The Crossing Places- and having rushed through the books for the story, I am now hearing nuances and details I never noticed before! I’m in for an Ellyfest!😃

I'm all in favour of an Ellyfest eGJ

Well Sparklefizz clues in this one that will come full circle in The Last Remains! Well worth listening once again. The humour of Ruth and Nelson emerging early on!

Ok. I'll follow up on this. Thanks eGJ

Loved this series. The only thing I found irritating was the references to Covid throughout the last two novels. I could have done without that.

I've still got several of the Ruth Galloway books to read. I kept telling my daughter about them and she's now listening to them on Audible. I love the whole set up, the archaeology, the mysticism and the murders. All the characters are so believable as well. Someone was talking about the books on Facebook and I mentioned that while I was at the dentist attempting to relax I was thinking "What would Cathbad say" I had an answer from Elly saying that he would tell me to meditate and think about the Web

Warning for Deeda the narrator of the audio version changes for three books in the series (and not for the better). Original narrator returns again for the last seven. I am enjoying re-listening as little clues for the future keep appearing! I like the idea of “What would Cathbad do?” 😀
