This series gains momentum with each installment! I’ve become invested in the characters and their lives, which have become more and more complicated and messy. Ruth is a refreshing and welcome character, and I can’t wait to see where the next book takes her!

Love the series with Ruth Galloway. This book grapped me a little bit less than the others. Maybe because Ruth was less involved, or because I only "read" this book while I read-listened to the other books.

IMO not as good as the others in the series. Found the plot a little bit of a stretch and more storyline regarding the relationships between characters than plot but still a cosy easy read.

I had forgotten how much I adore Elly Griffiths and her main protagonist Ruth Galloway. Reading an Elly Griffiths novel is like slipping on your favourite pair of jeans, they are comfortable, reassuring and familiar. The Woman in Blue is set in and around Walsingham after the body of a young girl is found in a graveyard, seen earlier in the evening by the ever eccentric Cathbad. As always Nelson is on the case, while Ruth offers her insight and expertise. Her and Nelson's relationship is just as exciting as the murder case. Full of rounded, unique characters, well written and plenty of witty dialogue (where I actually laughed out loud!), I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one!
