Book Description
Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway uncovers the bones of a Victorian murderess while a baby snatcher threatens modern-day Norfolk in this exciting new entry in a beloved series.
Every year a ceremony is held at Norwich Castle for the bodies in the paupers' graves: the Service for the Outcast Dead. Ruth has a particular interest in this year's proceedings. Her recent dig at Norwich Castle turned up the body of the notorious Mother Hook, who was hanged in 1867 for the murder of five children. Now Ruth is the reluctant star of the TV series Women Who Kill, working alongside the program's alluring history expert, Professor Frank Barker.
DCI Harry Nelson is immersed in the case of three children found dead in their home. He is sure that the mother is responsible. Then another child is abducted and a kidnapper dubbed the Childminder claims responsibility. Are there two murderers afoot, or is the Childminder behind all the deaths? The team must race to find out--and the stakes couldn't be any higher when another child goes missing.
My Review
Another great story from Elly Griffiths in the 6th installment of the Ruth Galloway series. Children go missing and it's a rush to find the kidnapper before harm is done to the babies. Great characters and intriguing plots always make Griffiths' books page-turners until the last page. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in order to keep up with the relationships with the characters as they are a intricate part of the stories too. I would recommend starting with the first book in the series and I'm sure you will want to continue as you get to know the Griffith's cast members that keep her books flying off the shelves.
