The House at Sea's End: A Ruth Galloway Investigation 3 | 
so-soCharacters are likable and realistic, and I like them more and more after every book.
I am not a big fun of this kind of crimes: deaths that have happened during the war. They doesn't feel intriguing enough, somehow. That made this book worse than the first books in the series, this was boring. And then there was a side story that had nothing to do with the main plot and felt super unnecessary.
I still love the setting!

pickI still have mixed feelings about this series (I am rather new to the genre and still getting used to the idea of so many murders happening in the same small place and involving the same small group of people), but overall I'm enjoying it and plan to keep reading. I like Ruth.
I have SO MUCH on my to-do list before we travel. So naturally I'm sitting here reading and drinking a second mug of decaf.
I finished a full day of teaching and now I'm relaxing with a cat, a book, and a local cider (not pictured) before having dinner.
pickThe past is never the past, we are doomed to repeat it or relive it. When six bodies are found buried under a cliff at the beach, WWII seems to have resurfaced, at least in one localized incident. Ruth Galloway and Inspector Nelson work to solve this latest of their mysteries, while struggling with personal complications. Secrets, of all sorts, are hard to conceal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI am enjoying this series immensely. The plots are well thoughtout and the characters are well developed. I love how the lives of even the minor characters are getting intertwined. There is so much more than just a good mystery in these books and I am already looking forward to the next book. 4⭐ #SpookOween #Necronomathon @Patchshank #Wickedathon @Staycurious #LittenListen @aperfectmjk #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

The House at Sea's End
by Elly Griffiths
Starting the first book of October. I have several books on hold at the library and I just hope they don't all come in at the same time. Looking forward to reading as many spooky, scary, creepy and tense books as I can this month. #Scarathon2021 @StayCurious #TeamSlaughter Go team!
pickA perfect read for a wet Sunday. The third in the Ruth Galloway series was very enjoyable as she struggles to balance being a new mum while 6 sets of human bones are discovered under the named house, an area gradually eroded by the sea. Ruth is a unique character and I have bk 4 ready to read soon.
I love Elly Griffith‘s Ruth Galloway series, set in Norfolk, an area I know well as my parents live there. In this, the third book of the series, human remains are uncovered when a team of archaeologists are investigating coastal erosion.

pickAnother enjoyable foray into Ruth Galloway! Cosy mysteries (that have a bit of intellectual content) are so satisfying to read. It always make me laugh though, at how much misfortune happens in these small communities!
pickAnother great book in the Ruth Galloway Series by Elly Griffiths. Forensic anthropologist, Ruth, initially involved in identifying bones buried on the beach, finds herself embroiled in several related murders. Quirky and witty (as usual), I highly recommend this series to that enjoy the TV series “Bones“ or a good mystery with an unique cast of characters. 4/5 stars. #crime #mystery
pickBook 3 of series. This continues the escapades of forensic anthropologist Ruth Galloway. She always seems to be getting in the middle of dangerous situations. I enjoyed parts of this book, but the mystery to be solved was a bit weak. 3.5 ⭐
pickI really enjoyed this installment! It had been awhile since I last read the series, and it was fun to get back into Norfolk and the characters. I found this mystery particularly engaging, and enjoyed the range of characters. The proportion of mystery and Ruth's personal storyline was just right.
I wanted to finish all of these before 2018 ended, but alas...
I‘m almost halfway through tagged book.
I‘m almost done with How Long ‘Til Black Future Month by N. K. Jemisin.
I want to start John Boyne‘s A Ladder to the Sky.

Hers and hers Ruth Galloway Mysteries. I‘m reading tagged book, the third in the series, and @BookishMarginalia is on the fourth.
pickGood misdirection in the mystery. In the last page the domestic faeces hits the air rotation device.
Got my book back. And the culprit looks adorable! #CatsofLitsy #BonBonCat
I really should go to sleep because work. But 🤷🏻♀️
Archeologist Ruth is a pragmatist after my own heart.
This is a nice surprise! A #bookmap! I listened to the first two in the #RuthGalloway mysteries, so I don‘t know if any of the others had maps.
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️ and 1/2; I enjoyed how the characters progressed but the mystery portion of the plot wasn‘t as strong.
Hello insomnia. Nice to see you again. 😒
pickI‘m so happy I made myself lay down and read for two hours - I don‘t think I could have focused on anything else otherwise!
There were smaller bits that I figured out, but the main one was a total shock to me! 6 skeletons are found in a crevice on a Norfolk beach, and Ruth is called in to help investigate. With WWII, erosion, secrets and lies, romance, friends from the past... this was a cracking good read. On to #4!
Today was supposed to be my “adult” day - you know, do the chores, make the phone calls, etc - but instead I sorted my sock drawer, finished up the leftovers, caught up on issues of NY Review of Books, and smooched Chico a lot. I‘m about to enjoy the rest of my evening by diving back into this third Ruth Galloway novel. It‘s sooooo good! 💙
pickAnother great book in this series! I love seeing the character‘s relationships unfold and grow. I have to see if my library has the rest of the books in the series, so I don‘t have to wait to read the rest!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Five weeks old and sleeping in her crib like a champ! Mamas sleeping not so well... 😂 here's to a couple minutes of relaxation!
pickThis series just keeps getting better and better. It is a great combination of creative mystery writing with interesting relationships and backstories among the characters. I find myself relating to Ruth and her concerns much more than I expected. I've basically binge-read the first three books. Must slow down and read something else before I run through the entire series.
so-soI don't normally read crime/thriller novels, but this was for bookclub. I didn't really get into it until at least halfway through. I didn't guess the killer, but I didn't particularly care much, it just didn't grab me.
pickAnother interesting story in the series. Ruth is trying to cope with her job, a new baby and her feelings for Nelson. The murder mystery was interesting but the back story with the characters stole the focus more.
Third in the DR Ruth Galloway series and a book about books and libraries. Should be some good reads.
pickI love when books have maps! I have a good imagination but this helps me really dive into a story. 🤗 The 3rd book in the Ruth Galloway series and I liked it! Not as much as the first 2 but still a fun read!
Reading a little before I workout and the next small group training class! 💪🏋️
Totally didn't get to 24 hrs and I'm ok with it. Life definitely got in the way this weekend with unexpected family lunches. Happy with what I read. 1 short story, 1 book, and started another. Good for me! #24in48 #readathon Night everyone!
On to the next! Very thankful that I have the next 3 in the series in my possession and the others on the way. Made the mistake of not having the Janus Stone. Learned a lesson from that! 🤣
Saw this and thought of you @Jess_Read_This 😊📚🇬🇧
