Elly Griffiths's Ruth Galloway series was my comfort read during the pandemic. This book was an emotional rollercoaster for me as beloved characters went through those early lockdown days, bringing it vividly back to life. The central mystery paled in comparison, but as usual Griffiths delivered a thrilling denouement.
