Welcome to Litsy!

I still like characters and I think they're the best part in the series. But somehow I was hoping to see more interaction between them.

This felt a bit dry, this was again a cozy mystery so I wasn't expecting to have thrilling scenes. But I think I was hoping to get more of the characters.

I finished this at weekend and my first for the
#jubilantjuly @Andrew65 challenge. I should finish 2 more bks hopefully.
In Ruth's 8th outing the story is set in Walsingham as a woman's body is discovered dressed in blue cloak and white dress. As the investigation delves into the religious community an old friend of Ruth, now a female priest asks for help. As always an easy read , usual formula, enjoyable characters 3*.

This story revolves around religious fanaticism and the damage that it can cause. Ruth‘s friend Hilary, from college, calls on Ruth for help, and reveals a string of threatening letters that she has received. Ruth gets Nelson involved, and he sees a possible connection with several murders that have occurred in the area of a place of religious pilgrimage. Ghostly apparitions(?), cults, icons, confusion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is book 8 in the Ruth Galloway mysteries series. I love this series and it's just keeps getting better! I am definitely caught up in the lives of the characters. The author has done a fantastic job with keeping the reader interested. Normally I lose interest in a series by the 5th or 6th book, not here. Looking forward to book 9. 4.5 ⭐

I'm trying to remember what the other murder mystery I read set in and around Walsingham was called, which was more sympathetic to the devotees there. This was a good mystery, with some good misleading clues, but had more of an outsider's rather condescending viewpoint to the people involved, which brings it down to a so-so. Also what is the point of Ruth being an archaeologist, if there's no archaeology?

Recently needed some light reading and re-read this one in Elly Griffith‘s Ruth Galloway series. Ruth is smart and sassy as ever, Nelson is by turns endearing and irritating, and Cathbad, as always, is fabulous. Michelle on the other hand? Whiny, entitled, and selfish. Dislike her more in every book.

Another instalment I this fine series. 3/5

Book 8 in the series set in the beautiful Walsingham. Another interesting mystery for the gang and another big secret is finally revealed. This wasnt my favourite of the series but it was still a really good read. Of course living in Norfolk myself means that I love reading about areas I know. Cathbad is still my favourite character in these but I do have a soft spot for Nelson.

Another excellent installment in the Ruth Galloway series. There‘s less archaeology in this book, but still a fair amount of history and an interesting religious component. As usual, I‘m going to have to restrain myself from immediately starting the next book. I want to spread out the enjoyment.

Started this last night when I couldn‘t get to sleep. The doctor started me on prednisone for my sinuses. I know the drill. I will be reading more than sleeping tonight 😂

Need an escapist break. So opening this TBR book by Elly Griffiths. Great series.
By the way, I met my #ClimbingMtVancouver2018 Goodreads book challenge of 36 books so far - now changing goal to 45.

Waiting on the storm.. sleeping baby, a comfy blanket and the last of the Ruth Galloway series :( why do good books always have to end?

@Jess7 is doing another reading challenge for February. I didn't do many in January but gonna try harder in February. Its always fun.

Yup. Still love these books.

Another great Ruth Galloway mystery. The case was more simple than some of the previous ones, which was a nice change of pace. The personal storylines are even more complicated. A fun fact about this is that a woman named Jan and her search dog Barney make cameos because a real person won the privilege of being in the book at a charity auction. I loved that!

Coffee + good book = perfect Sunday morning. 📚☕️.

Another excellent outing with Ruth Galloway. I'll leave it at that so there's no spoilers.

This was another brilliant addition to the Ruth Galloway series. The main stat of this book is mainly Nelson but this doesn't spoil the story at all. As always I am left waiting for the next volume.

Was determined to finish this today and I succeeded.

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just starting this one . . . Then on to find a new series 😢. I think I may give Louise Penny another try. I read the first one but just didn't feel compelled to read anymore at the time. It does seem that others enjoy Penny's characters as I do Griffiths's.

Love this series! Set in Norfolk, Ruth is an archaeologist who gets entangled in murder inquiries with DCI Nelson and her Druid friend Cathbad usually comes along for the ride. Love the historical and archaeological details!

Is it possible that women priests are librarians?

☠My latest read.. Little Walsingham, a blue robed body of a model is found strangled. Forensic archeologist, Ruth Galloway, becomes involved in a the murder. Is it religious fervor gone wrong or something more deeply personal? I'm a big Ruth Galloway fan- this is a stellar addition to the series!

Very good book! Ruth Galloway is one of my favorite female protagonists. The mystery is always good, but I think I keep reading them to find out what's going on in the characters lives. I'm sad now that I'll have to wait for awhile to find out what comes next!

Not my favorite in the series, but still a good story. Starting to transition a little away from the archaeological aspects of the previous books, but I can see how that would be necessary after a while.

Just started reading the latest Ruth Galloway mystery! I love these books!

Decent mystery, though this series isn't offering much new character development and the plot seems strained and a bit tired. I still love Ruth Galloway, strong single mom archaeologist & lecturer, but she's not given much to do here. For committed Griffiths fans only.

Here's my fave reading spot, @Books,Tea,AndBookishThings! Sadly it's only inhabitable five months per year. The rest of the time, you'll find me reading indoors, huddled under quilts! #Mystery #Horror

First day of vacation... AC.. A good book... And my new favorite reading treat.....

I've loved the other books in the series. I can't wait to dive back in this afternoon!

I'm so excited to read this book!
