A Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths
A Dying Fall, like all of Griffiths work, combines an intriguing plot with well-drawn characters topped by the ever-fascinating Ruth and a keen sense of place and history. Connoisseurs of thoughtful suspense will revel in its many pleasures. Richmond Times-DispatchWhen Ruth Galloway learns that her old university friend Dan Golding has died in a house fire, she is shocked and saddened. But when she receives a letter that Dan had written just before he died, her sadness turns to suspicion.
The letter tells of a great archaeological discovery, but Dan also says that he is scared for his life. Was Dan s death linked to his find? The only clue is his mention of the Raven King, an ancient name for King Arthur.
When she arrives in Lancashire, Ruth discovers that the bones reveal a shocking fact about King Arthur and that the bones have mysteriously vanished. The case draws in DCI Nelson, determined to protect Ruth and their eighteen-month-old daughter, Kate. But someone is willing to kill to keep the bones a secret, and it is beginning to look as if no one is safe.
Another gem packed with offbeat, well-developed characters and a quirky, challenging mystery. Kirkus
