The Ghost Fields by Elly Griffiths
4.0
Work from home 2020: book 16.
God I love this series. I love it when authors make a continuous plot arc that spans the entire series, involving relationships and interactions between main and supporting characters. This one had an intriguing peep at an almost-affair between a new supporting character and a long-standing one. I am unfortunately not a fan of the long-standing character although there’s no earthly reason why I oughtn’t be... but I’m not. And I was sad the way the almost-affair played out BUT I am happy that Griffiths wrote it the way she did. Preserving long term the characters’ strengths and foibles.
Anyway. That was only part of the story but like I said — I get caught up in the relationships part especially when it spans the entirety of the series and evolves and grows and changes as Ruth goes through different escapades.
This was a very satisfying read replete with WWII, a mad aristocrat, murders galore, isolation, tempestuous weather, buried bodies, and Ruth almost dying — again.
Love this series!! Onto book 8 (I still need to get books 2-4 though... I may end up ordering them, since even when my library was open it didn’t have them and also didn’t have access to them).
