About this listen
Start right here! Discover the Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries and become obsessed with one of the most popular crime series in Britain.
'Galloway now seems as real as Marple and Morse' The Times
'I've never before read a crime novel in which archaeology and detection blend as successfully as in The Crossing Places' Shots
Dr Ruth Galloway is called in when a child's bones are discovered near a prehistoric site on the north Norfolk salt marshes. Are they the remains of a local girl who disappeared ten years earlier - or are the bones much older?
DCI Harry Nelson refuses to give up the hunt for the missing girl. Since she vanished, someone has been sending him creepy anonymous notes about ritual sacrifice. He knows that Ruth's expertise and experience could help him finally to put this case to rest.
But when a second child goes missing, Ruth finds herself in danger from a killer who knows she's getting ever closer to the truth.

evocative and intelligent crime story
The story was quite gripping at the start, well written, interesting characters, and the unique landscape is beautifully evoked and woven in, like a character in its own right. I also loved the archeology part. Narration and production were excellent. The crime mystery however was a bit predictable and formulaic, and personally I didn't much care for all the lovey-dovey, pregnancy and motherhood stuff. Don't know that I'm bothered listening to other books in the series.

A new author for me.
The first Ellie Griffiths book I have listened to. Enjoyed this story which is clearly has much more to come. The second in the series is ready and waiting.

Intriguing and had me guessing to the end
I enjoyed the characters, the way the story unfolded, the description of the landscape and not being able to guess the ending

A gripping story
My first experience of Elly griffiths and I was impressed. The story gripped me from the start and drew me in as the drama escalated. The characters are well drawn and I like the main character Dr Galloway and the contrasting detective character. They are both plausible as is the story. A couple of good twists.
