Cover Detail of The Lantern Men by Elly Griffiths

Elly Griffiths Books in Order

I first discovered the novels of Elly Griffiths whilst visiting the lovely Lindum Books in Lincoln's Bailgate. They had just had a signing with the author and my interest was certainly piqued when I read the back of Crossing Places. Once I had read this, I couldn't wait to read the others and was delighted to receive one Christmas a boxed set of her books. I've split the list below into Dr Ruth Galloway and Brighton Mysteries books. I would strongly recommend reading the Dr Ruth books in order of publication. There is so much background to Dr Ruth's life, and it becomes quite tangled at times!
