The House at Sea's End by Elly Griffiths

I love Elly Griffiths, her books just keep getting better and better. Not only does she write a superb murder mystery, but she also manages to control and keep check of a number of extra characters not integral to the plot, which I sometimes enjoy more than the murder mytsery aspect of it.
In this book, Ruth has just had her baby, which is the product of an affair with the mairried, DCI Nelson. Ruth is a great character and you feel for her and all her worries. Their relationship is always interesting to read about.
The main plot focuses on six dead bodies which have been found buried on a beach and the ensuing murders that happen as their secrets are told. It's a brilliant plot, slightly more outlansdish than the others, but I loved it.
I can't wait to read more about Ruth Galloway!

Oh, God, what do I even say?
I went to Paris and in my hotel, there was this bookcrossing shelf and I came across this book lying there. And I don't regret, totally immersive, I will definitely check out the rest of the series.

This series is very addicting. The characters are well written. minor characters are also fleshed out and evolve in the story lines. You can read the books out of order since each mystery stands alone but you would miss a lot of the back story.
