Welcome to Litsy!

The Blackstock family are keeping secrets, and Ruth Galloway is in danger of digging them up, pun intended. When a body is discovered in an old WWII airplane, Ruth suspects that it was moved from somewhere else, and thus begins the tale. Ruth lands in the middle of it all, with more personal complications adding to the mystery. This is such a wonderful series. Don‘t miss it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nearly home time on a Friday so thought I'd post last weekends reading. Book 7 in the Ruth Galloway series and while still enjoyable a few of the plot lines creaked a bit and it felt a little bit formulaic . Still what I like about the series is the scenery ( must visit Norfolk) and the archaeological theme. Here a ww2 missing bomber crew , son of a landed family is found not at sea as believed but in a buried single plane. Much nastiness follows

I thought this was book 22 of #Scarathon2021 @Clwojick #TeamSlaughter but checking my list for October I see I made a mistake and this actually book 23. Anyway, I think this is my favorite of the series so far. I liked this plot better and the continued interaction between the characters is so good. 5⭐ #SpookOween #Necronomathon @Patchshank #Wickedathon @StayCurious #LittenListen @aperfectmjk #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

It seems Cathbad is not infallible

She knows that Shona‘s initial keenness will soon wane and that she will gravitate, as if drawn by a siren call, towards the nearest cappuccino. Shona‘s coffee breaks have been known to take several weeks.

Thoroughly enjoyed this Ruth Galloway mystery!

Book number 7 ! I laughed through most of this book. Griffiths characters certainly come shining through the pages of this one. As always, a dead body, the need force forensic archeologist, and Ruth is once again helping Nelson solve a mystery. Will Ruth find love this time? Stay tuned. Or read this book! 4.5 ⭐

Just can't help it! Had to start another "Ruth" book. I need it, comprendé???

Pizza date with @BookishMarginalia who is currently enjoying a lager with her ricotta and meatballs.

Yet another great book in the Dr. Ruth Galloway series. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Great characters, as usual, and a unique plot. Bonus, hubby is currently reading The Crossing Places, the first book in the series, and loving it. So great to have mutual books to discuss. Photo from the remains of an abbey in Somerset whose name I can‘t remember, but I figured it was atmospheric enough to accompany this review😄

I feel like I can‘t read The Guardian and still like Nelson 😂

We need to finish our painting project so that I can get my life back into balance 😂

I need a Ruth Galloway fix😄 I‘m trying to space these books out, but it‘s hard not to binge read them. Hubby has started on The Crossing Places, the first book in the series. I bought that in Cambridge on the recommendation of the friend we were visiting, and I much prefer the cover of that British edition to those used on the American books.

Book 7 in the series and another great read. I love Dr Ruth Galloway and her adventures. Plus my gorgeous book sleeve.

Another good installment in the Ruth Galloway mystery series. The mystery in this one was unique, but my only complaint is that the ending was sparked by the killer just confessing sort of out of the blue, rather than the clues adding up. But I really read this for the non-mystery storyline about Ruth and her complicated life. I'm glad there are a few more of these before I catch up on the series.

Time for another Ruth Galloway mystery. I only have a few more to go before I'm caught up on the series.

#bookmail 🤗 still have a few more books coming from #bookdepository

It's a dark and dreary day on Delmarva. Perfect for cozying up with the next book in the Elly Griffith's series.....when I'm not napping 😴

Tonight's reading. Absolutely ❤️ this series!

Love this series!

Still enjoying Ruth and dying to see how her and 👮🏼 relationship evolves in the next novel! This plot was a little weaker for me, but I'm totally reading for these awesome characters anyway 😁 I can't believe I only have one more to read and then I'll have to wait until February and then who knows how long after that 😳😟 I just don't want it to end!!

This series is one of my favorite currently being written. I love a good mystery, and these are so much more creative and engaging than your typical pretty-dead-girl novels.

This most recent entry in Griffiths' series featuring forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is just as entertaining and engaging as her earlier work. Ruth is called in to investigate the body of a WWII airman found in an old plane unearthed during a construction project. She encounters all sorts of mysterious incidents as the investigation links the body to the Blackstock family, landed gentry who have inhabited Norfolk for hundreds of years.
