I love all these books, Ruth’s relationship with Nelson is good looking forward to the next one

The slowest one yet, but the twists in the second half made up for it.

Solid 3.5 stars. Nice change of pace from some of the books I've been reading lately. Griffiths writes a strong mystery without a lot of melodrama, which I appreciate. Both Harry and Ruth are realistic characters who have an interesting relationship--I'm curious to see what happens with them.

I'm still enjoying making my way through this series of murder mysteries, and number 5 didn't disappoint - although I'm grateful it didn't end with the plucky Ruth having to be rescued yet again.

Many characters involved and all could have done it but in th end it was one forgotten. The transition from chapter 33 to 34 was terribly well written. Heartrate went up too much.
