Top 3 Elly Griffiths Books

Once the good of Elly griffiths has reached the Spanish publishing market we can prepare for a perfect storm that will overshadow our readings with black series or intense mysteries. And it is that Domenica, as this author is called, seems to be the feminine side of a John Banville at their Doubling as Benjamin Black.

It will be a matter of that enviable productivity and creativity, both virtues conspired to derision other writers who face the blank page with frustrating results ... Another thing is already more or less resounding success. Only knowing how to do and with determination, everything ends up arriving.

And as I say in the case of Griffiths, the generalized international assault came when there were already a score of novels with their rigorous hits from the doors of Great Britain. The question is now to enjoy his exquisite and disturbing characters, as inhabitants of the shadows where the protagonists of the criminal, the enigmatic and even the esoteric coexist if it touches. The perfect place for authors like Griffiths to find their inspiration.

The inheritance of bones

We begin with a fourth installment in which everything reaches a greater intensity. From the outlining of an increasingly convincing Ruth Galloway facing greater dangers, through scenes of maximum tension..., everything always working in favor of a disturbing and surprising plot.

The forensic archaeologist has to solve a murder related to the mysterious story of a medieval bishop and an ancient Aboriginal curse.

At a private museum in Norfolk everything is ready for the opening of the coffin of a XNUMXth century bishop. They have invited prominent personalities and the university's leading academics to the event, including Ruth Galloway. But just before the ceremony begins, a tragic discovery is made: the museum director appears unconscious next to the coffin and nothing can be done to save his life. Despite herself, Ruth finds herself involved in the investigation, which is taken over by Inspector Harry Nelson. The only clues in the hands of the police are some threatening letters and an ancient legend that awakens the fears of the most superstitious. But Ruth knows that it is the bones that have all the answers, and only she is capable of deciphering her message.

The sea returns everything, even the truth? Some buried secrets should never come to light. A new case for forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway.

A team of geologists investigating coastal erosion in North Norfolk Bay contact Dr. Ruth Galloway after six bodies are found buried at the foot of a cliff. The archaeologist and inspector Harry Nelson team up once again to unravel the past, although the situation is extremely uncomfortable, as Nelson must at all costs prevent his wife Michelle from suspecting the relationship between the two of them.

The echoes of the swamp

As I anticipated before, the arrival of this first novel in an overwhelming saga such as the series about the protagonist Ruth Galloway It is great news if it ends up bearing fruit in its natural concatenation with the more than 14 deliveries it has already had. Because Elly griffiths is a particular writer arrived at black gender with an impressionist pen that knows how to move the plot from a singular descriptive aspect, towards the setting as part of the suspense, of the tension.

The role chosen for Ruth Galloway, an archaeologist who starts her services for the police with apparent occasionality, helps a lot in this kind of immersion between plot and setting. His performance, his conscientious work and his ability to weave the present with the remnants of the remotest yesterday serve that transformative cause through the great open landscapes, among atavistic mists of the islands ... Nothing better than a place like Nortfolk, one of the easternmost counties of the British Isles to begin this journey between the police, the telluric, and the archaeological.

Ruth is a lonely woman, with the company of her cats and the occasional visits of a friend with whom to share some good time with those views of eternity. But Ruth's peace is broken when Harry Nelson, a police inspector, appears in her life who, knowing of her performance, approaches her to request her help regarding some old bones found. Before Harry's total ignorance, Ruth makes him understand that these skeletal remains are not Lucy Downey, the girl who disappeared years ago, but rather that they belong to a much earlier time.

And yet, the collaboration does not end there. Because in the field work around the bones, Ruth ends up discovering references to human sacrifice that arouse Harry's intrigue and that can be linked to a dark present.

When a second girl disappears, it seems like everything comes together. The coincidental discovery of Ruth, the investigation into the meaning of the messages found parallel to the bones... And that is where those suspicions began to weave together that inevitably approach Ruth's closest environment, her colleagues and other scholars like her...
