The House at Sea End Elly Griffiths 9781849163675 Books

after the first book i liked ruth. the story interesting, her friends unique. the second book, not so much. i got tired of the author frequently mentioning ruth's looks. the thing with nelson was unrealistic. then the baby. that annoying baby.

half the words in the book could have been edited out to make a tighter story.

the third book was even worse. more baby, more ruth obsessing about her weight and yet not doing anything that could help her lose weight - not for looks necessarily but to be more efficient in the field. hard to be an archaeologist if one gets winded easily. i don't really see how the baby is essential to the mystery.

i finally started skimming and then skipping pages. and don't ask me who killed who. this might have been an interesting book if everything wasn't so drawn out.

not going to read the others. although i am interested in how the nelson story plays out. maybe someone can tell me.

The House at Sea End Elly Griffiths 9781849163675 Books Reviews

I will not give a plot summary as I don’t read reviews that summarize.
I have enjoyed this book, second in the series, one before and two after it. They seem somewhat formulaic but not to a great extent; they are well written and entertaining. The author understands how much description/explanation is necessary to create atmosphere and understanding and does not fall into the habit of unnecessary repetition. The story lines flow smoothly and the characters are fleshed out nicely. I enjoy following Ruth around, experiencing with her the various complexities of her job and life. She and many of the other characters are believable. And important to me— I have not found myself “editing” one.
The books need to be read in order—the ending of the books are not really cliff hangers, but there is always something unresolved, something that leads into the next in the series. I do recommend this one and the series.
Book #3 was great but since I have skipped around reading, I know a couple were a bit better.Ruth is always endearing but not sure about her friend Tatjana from Bosnia days and skipping around tells me how some relationships ended. Sigh.

Nelson is supportive of Ruth is a furtive way, I am sure that book # 4 which is still "to read" will shed light on the relations. Cathbad and Judy come together quickly and then she departs for matrimony.

The mystery of the murders during WWII makes sense, but not sure about the fire from old contraband, but probably accurate. The last two chapters were sort of isolated from the rest of the book.

I adore Ruth as a forensic archeologist and Nelson as a Detective Inspector and will read any and all that I can get my hands on. If you can read the series from the beginning, it will work better. I definitely will reread soon from the beginning.
I can't say much more about the book that the 3 previous reviewers wrote

The book keeps your attention from the first to last page. I read it in one night, couldn't put
it down.

As far as I know this is still only avail in UK, that's where I ordered from and had my book in 2 weeks, was surprised
how fast it got to the states!

If you have not read any of Elly's books, start with the first one, The Crossing Places as this is a series and books are a continuation.

Elly is a great writer. These are not a traditional cozy but are not thrillers either. I'd call them a modern mystery with some suspense in parts of book - just enough to where you don't want to set the book down for 5 minutes.

Looking forward to the next one - I hope there will be many more to come in this series

I have been very pleased with Elly Griffiths series regarding Archeologist Ruth Galloway. I so enjoyed the first two books that I pre-ordered this third book. I was not disappointed.

Griffiths has a wonderful way of developing her characters, holding their character traits through each book and actually building on each trait to make the characters even more inviting and personable as the series moves on.

The mystery itself this time is the find of six skeletal remains along a cliff side at Broughton. These six bodies are discovered by a team that is mapping the coastland and mapping the erosion that is happening. While they are working they find the six bodies which have been exposed because of the failure of part of the cliff and the erosion of the salt water waves against the cliffs.

It is obvious that the six bodies were meant to never be found, but that hasn't happened. Ruth Galloway and Chief Inspector Nelson will team up again to try and solve this mystery.

It is soon realized that the murders are fairly recent since all deaths happened as result of gun shot wounds and five of them appear to be execution style. Who are these murdered men? Who killed them? And why did they kill them?

Ruth is able to determine through carbon tests that the bodies are approximately 50 to 70 years old and that each man has German roots, to the same region in Germany.

As the story unfolds this was a small platoon of German soldiers who were trying to infiltrate England but were discovered by the Home Guard of Broughton Sea. But why were the men executed? That is still the pressing story.

As Galloway and Nelson dig into the story they discover two of the men of the Home Guard are still alive, but not for long. Each of the men dies within the same week. When Nelson has one body exhumed and autopsied it is determined the man was murdered.

Further a German Historian shows up and says he knows who the six men were and why they were there. But, he also is murdered. So, who is now murdering people and trying to keep this story a secret? What are they trying to hide? Or who are they trying to protect?

All the while we are also dealing with Ruth's new life with a young baby, Kate. How will she work and yet raise a child as a single parent.

All of these things plus more are woven together in a story that will keep your attention. I love the way that Elly Griffiths pulls things together. Ties in history as well as archeology and police work. She does a wonderful amount of research and it shows in the depth and realism of her stories. There is also enough tension to keep you on your toes and frankly, you will never guess who the murderer is until the end of the book.

It's fantastic. Enjoy!
