Norfolk: A photographic journey through the land of Ruth Galloway

Product Information

I don’t think the book would be of interest to non Ruth Galloway fans – other than it might draw you into a very enjoyable series, but for fans it is almost essential I would say. Surprisingly high quality book – combing some vibrant colour photography from Justin Minns (a Suffolk based landscape photographer) with commentary from Elly Griffiths which links to the landscape and settings of the Ruth Galloway series (with many of the pictures being captioned with quotes from the books). A murmuration is "a large group of birds, usually starlings, that fly all together and change direction together" swooping and swirling in the sky. She has won the CWA Dagger in the Library, has been shortlisted five times for the Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, and longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger for The Lantern Men . However, I found the book infuriating as many of the photographs are unlabelled, or have vague descriptions such as "the Norfolk marshes".

From seascapes to farmlands, wetlands to woodlands, churches to cottages, this beautiful book captures Norfolk in all its glorious variety and is the perfect gift for any Elly Griffiths fan. Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway novels take for their inspiration Elly's husband, who gave up a city job to train as an archaeologist, and her aunt who lives on the Norfolk coast and who filled her niece's head with the myths and legends of that area. Are they the remains of a local girl who disappeared ten years earlier – or are the bones much older?
