The Night Hawk
The Night Hawk: Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries 13 | Elly Griffiths
11 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
'THE MOST LOVABLE OF CURRENT CRIME SERIES' Sunday Express Dr Ruth Galloway returns to the moody and beautiful landscape of North Norfolk to confront another killer. A devastating new case for our favourite forensic archaeologist in this acclaimed and bestselling crime series. The Night Hawks, a group of metal detectorists, are searching for buried treasure when they find a body on the beach in North Norfolk. At first Nelson thinks that the dead man might be an asylum seeker but he turns out to be a local boy, Jem Taylor, recently released from prison. Ruth is more interested in the treasure, a hoard of Bronze Age weapons. Nelson at first thinks that Taylor's death is accidental drowning, but a second death suggests murder. Nelson is called to an apparent murder-suicide of a couple at the isolated Black Dog Farm. Local legend talks of the Black Shuck, a spectral hound that appears to people before they die. Nelson ignores this, even when the owner's suicide note includes the line, 'He's buried in the garden.' Ruth excavates and finds the body of a giant dog. All roads lead back to this farm in the middle of nowhere, but the place spells serious danger for anyone who goes near. Ruth doesn't scare easily. Not until she finds herself at Black Dog Farm ...

Another book I read on vacation, maybe the best Ruth Galloway mystery yet. This really kept me guessing, plus an unexpected twist at the end makes me really anxious for the next installment. Picture is a red tail hawk at WNC Nature Center, which we visited on our trip.

kspenmoll Love her books. I have not read this one yet. Great review! 3y

This is the latest installment from Dr Ruth Galloway Mystery. The Night Hawks are a group of metal detectorists searching for buried treasure. But they find a body instead. There is also a murder-suicide at a farm called Black Dog Farm. Ruth is called in two both scenes to excavate. Are the two crimes connected? As I may have mentioned I love this series. The ever continuing relationship between Ruth and Nelson, what will happen with them!

I was glad to see Ruth & Kate return to Norfolk. changes in Nelson's police department too. I can't wait to read the next book in the series as this book left off as Nelson seems ready to make a decision about his and Ruth's relationship. recommend this series as it is character driven & so interesting. A bit of history mixed with your mystery. NetGalley & Quercus Publishers
