Welcome to Litsy!

I just inhaled, er finished, the ninth Ruth Galloway. Had to stay up; no going to sleep until I was done! It‘s the third Ruth I‘ve read in the last two weeks, messing with my “only read in season” mantra, but WTH. This one was actually set in June for the most part, and it‘s terrific. Bones, tunnels, Harry, Ruth, Judy (I love her character so much), Cathbad (not as much of him this book, to my disappointment), and of course, the new Super. Big 👍

I‘m on a roll. Just got the next two from the library. Excited to see what happens to the characters. I really like Ruth, I emphasise a lot with her. It‘s a bit like watching a TV series only better.

9th Ruth Galloway book finds the archaeologist excavating in the underground tunnels below Norwich. The book expands into an investigation about the disappearance and murder of homeless individuals.
This is a series which is a step up from cozy but not gritty, the enjoyment now is in well known characters however the eventual resolution stretched credibility and is always a bit frantic but I'll read on as it is always a quick read.

Soooo glad to get back to the Ruth Galloway series! It had been more than 6 years since I read the last one, but Griffiths gave enough information about prior events that I did not feel lost. The only negative to this book is there was not enough of Cathbad—the local Druid. Hopefully he will have a larger role in the next book.

Ruth is called on to look at some bones, surprise, surprise. Homeless people, rough sleepers, are disappearing. Are the two somehow connected? Possibly. But then the disappearances hit closer to home, and a more desperate search ensues. An underground brotherhood is discovered, secret entrances, tunnels. And have things changed between Ruth and Nelson? Read it to find out all the answers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just when I thought the series could not get any better Griffiths just blows me away again! The character of Ruth is perfection and the history with Nelson just keeps me wanting more. 5⭐

Another book read for the #SeriesRead2022 challenge !

Day 4 results for the #20in4 readathon hosted by @Andrew65

Yesterday I read for 7.25 hours to bring my total hours to 31.5. I finished Malibu Rising and started The Chalk Pit. Another book for the #SeriesRead2021 challenge!

#CurrentlyListening to the ninth in the #RuthGalloway #mystery series 👍🏼

Far below Norwich is a maze of old mining tunnels. When Ruth Galloway is called to examine a set of human remains in one of them, she notices the bones are almost translucent, a sign they were boiled soon after death....

#bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Bones are found during construction work involving a network of tunnels under Norwich. Is there any connection with a homeless people who has disappeared and a homeless man who was stabbed overnight on the police station porch?

A good mystery with some intriguing background and a very exciting climax, but we still need Ruth to be doing more archaeology rather than focussing on the characters' domestic complications. A low pick.

Not my favorite in the series. The characters are starting to frustrate me. Not enough archaeological insight either.

Night time reading at work with a snack.

Another great read in the series and of course a chance to see more in the Ruth and Nelson saga. I'm still not sure what ending I want for them. This built up well and the drama really built when Cassandra went missing. The story is interesting and I loved all the history in it. Coming from this area the tunnels have always been an interesting secret. Another book read for #24B4Monday #TeamSlaughter #Scareathlon @Clwojick

So two days in and I'm at 10.5 hours. Definitely not gonna hit 24 so gonna try for 16 hours instead. Finished one book and close to finishing a couple more. #TeamSlaughter #Scareathlon @Clwojick

A collection of the first three Ruth Galloway books are on Kindle Deals today. This is my favorite mystery series! Ruth is an archeologist who keeps getting involved with murder cases that have #mysterious connections to her work. Give them a try if you haven‘t read these before. #FallisBooked

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadian Litten pals 🦃🍁🍂

4.5 ⭐. Book 9 in Ruth's saga. Is there such a thing as an underground city where the homeless live?? Ruth and Nelson investigate a series of murders and kidnappings. I love this series!

Today‘s audio book is an few hours with an old friend. 8th in the Ruth Galloway series. Easily digestible cosy. #books #reading #audiobooks #bookstagram #libraries

This may be the best yet in this series. It‘s a fascinating mystery, although less oriented toward archaeology than some of the others. Hard-to-connect murders and disappearances are resolved, and I really had no idea who the perp was ahead of time. These stories always involve personal drama, this one exceptionally poignant. I loved it.

We made an unplanned stop at the main library today, after a consult with a surgeon and the decision that I don‘t need surgery. Yay!‘😁 I have sooo many books on the shelves and on my Kindle to read, but I couldn‘t resist the next Ruth Galloway mystery. So much for spacing them out😊

Maybe I should have read the previous books to this, but was an easy read

Cooling off and investigating this town‘s library. Fun to explore!

Another great group read with @Andrew65 and another intriguing read from Elly Griffiths. If you haven‘t started reading this series, you should start now. It is one of the best mystery series out there. The characters are very interesting and a few are quite unique. I‘m looking forward to the next one as the storylines of the characters are heating up with some hot relationship issues.

Another stunning book in the excellent Ruth Galloway Series, and think it has now been set up for some fireworks in book 10. Around the personal lives of the main characters was an excellent read with a murder mystery with a difference. Definitely 5 Stars, but if I was mega picky I would like to have seen more of Cathbad in the book. Definitely recommend this series which starts with The Crossing Places. #ReadingWomenMonth #Crime

Have started the Chalk Pit for a Group Read on Librarything. This is book 9 in the excellent Ruth Galloway Series set in Norfolk, England. Great to be back with the characters, and already hooked me.

Starting this for a group read on #LibraryThing. This is book 9 of The Ruth Galloway series. If you haven‘t started this series yet, you need to. Characters and plots are very interesting and unique. #ruthgallowayseries #ellygriffiths

I love this series, it's a police procedural, a sort of love story, historically interesting with a crime to solve and also of course ,Readable the story just flows and you get caught up with the characters whose back stories you can follow also throughout the series.

@EadieB This is the schedule for the Group Read of The Chalk Pit on Librarything starting on Friday. This is Book 9 in the unique Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths.

Can‘t wait to get back to this series

If anyone hasn‘t read these I do recommend the series, one of my favourites - especially the character Cathbad!

Saturday reading with Joey 🐱📕💜

The look you get when you finish your book and then realize the next book in the series hasn't been released in Canada yet... NOOOOOOOOO. I need to know what happens!!! Hurry up already and release it! #sadkitty #warmkitty #littleballoffur #yesiknowitisntsadkitty #butimsad #enoughwiththehashtagsalready

My kobo isn't my favourite to read on but when you need the next book in the series and you can't wait to get to a book store, this will have to do

I like this series so much! Unlike some mystery series, all of the recurring characters are well-fleshed out, not just the main character. I keep reading because I want to know what happens to them all. I liked that this one focused a little more on Judy, one of the police officers. I think she's my favorite secondary character. Ruth's life is always interesting too, especially as she makes choices I wouldn't!

I adore this series and this one did not let me down. Will Ruth and Nelson ever end up together ?!

Staying up late with a mystery chock full of murder most foul, secret underground passages, and skele-friends. Man I love #Spooktober! 😍💀🎃

Back to #litsypartyofthree? Except it seems I'm the only one actually reading!

Will Ruth and Nelson EVER get together??? An otherwise another great, creepy mystery by Elly Griffiths.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The 9th in Elly Griffiths' RUTH GALLOWAY MYSTERIES is strong on the relationships between the detectives in Nelson's Team and in his relationship with Galloway but the homelessness storyline didn't quite gel for me and had a means to an end feel to it while the antagonist's motivation was so ridiculous and features so late in the plot that I couldn't take it seriously.

I've been relegated to the backseat for this road trip to San Diego ... I don't really mind. I get more reading done when I don't have to navigate for DH #roadtrip

❤️Elly Griffiths is a pure delight to meet in person. Her Ruth Galloway series is even more meaningful as one of my favorites now that I know the significance and thoughts behind the characters.

📝She also teaches creative writing. I found her answer to my question on what advice she gives her students to be meaningful, humorous, and practical. Love her.

Anthropologist Ruth Galloway is back in the latest from Elly Griffiths. As usual, there‘s a lot going on in King‘s Lynn. This is the 9th in the Ruth Galloway series and doesn't disappoint. Full review at http://itsallaboutthebook.org.
