Elly Griffith's characters sparkle with originality in The Crossing Places, as does her setting and plot. A light read, this mystery nonetheless drew me in, surprising me with twists and turns, making the most of archaeologist Ruth Galloway's curiosity and DCI Nelson's unswerving dedication. The two uncover mysteries in the marshes and bogs near a remote beach, a fitting setting for ancient burial practices. I'd choose a second one in this series!
Discover the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries, one of the most popular crime series in Britain, with this beautiful special edition.

The People of the Book took me to several places far away and far in the past, the author uncovering the storyline so gradually that one feels immersed in another time and place. And not just one, but several times and places, as the present-day heroine uncovers the story of the Haggadah, an ancient Jewish book, using her historical skills. Meanwhile, one is also caught up in the heroine's own difficulties and desires. The writing is full, colorful, brimming with details, and enlivened with colorful people and places. This book is the best I've read by Geraldine Brooks.
The bestselling novel that follows a rare manuscript through centuries of exile and war, from the author of The Secret Chord and of March, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
Inspired by a true story, People of the Book is a novel of sweeping historical grandeur and intimate emotional intensity by an acclaimed and beloved author. Called “a tour de force” by the San Francisco Chronicle, this ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in fifteenth-century Spain. When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this…
The author enriches his tale, based on the Tuttle's Dance Hall Massacre of 1871 in Newton, Kansas, with parallel stories of a family of Texas cowboys, a woman restauranteur struggling to set up shop in Newton, and a newspaper woman from the Wichita Times, more-or-less exiled to Newton in order to get her out of the editor’s hair. As the individual stories build, they are braided together toward a fascinating climax. The period detail is well rendered, the characters are believable and distinct, and the violence is rendered so masterfully that it can cause chills.

Marc Cameron is a master at thrillers, both his series featuring Jericho Quinn and his Tom Clancy novels featuring Jack Ryan. This book is from another series featuring Arlis Cutter, a deputy United States marshal working in Alaska. Between the cold and deadly winter landscapes of the interior of Alaska, which play a major role, and the chilling violence in the story, readers may need a blanket.
