Ringmer review

@ellygriffiths.bsky.social: The Frozen People

A reader writes, "I already like Ali Dawson as much as Ruth Galloway. We need more.

"Great last line too: "She takes his arm and they walk down the quiet street into the restless, timeless city."
Book cover. Elly Griffiths The Frozen People. Some murders can't be solved in just one lifetime. Big Ben and the tops of the Houses of Parliament, with the sun low behind them, can be seen in the distance across a misty and cold river Thames. The scene is framed in a Gothic archway dimly lit by a lantern at the top.

Latest #BookReview - The Frozen People by Elly Griffiths

This perfect blend of historical, crime and time travel fiction held me in its thrall as I was transported to Victorian London with Ali Dawson.
