Review: The Woman in Blue

The Woman in Blue by Elly Griffiths
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If I'm a big mystery fan, so why hadn't I read anything by Elly Griffiths?

I've been missing out on one of the best mystery writers!
Book 8 in the Ruth Galloway series, it left me wanting to read all the series, from book 1.

This is a classic murder-mystery book: A woman is found murdered in the medieval town of Walsingham. Police and a few more people, including Ruth Galloway, investigate what lead to her killing.

The book has a great combination of strange, lovable characters, a very particular setting and a very good plot. Besides the initial murder (the "woman in blue" from the title), there's a bunch of anonymous letters to women priests, some talk about religion and a few unsavory types, followed by another murder and an ending that I couldn't foresee.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
