About this listen

 A bullet-ridden body is unearthed from a buried WWII plane. Dr Ruth Galloway must discover who the victim was - and who put him there.

When DCI Harry Nelson calls Ruth Galloway in to investigate a body found inside a buried fighter plane, she quickly realizes that the skeleton couldn't possibly be the pilot. DNA tests identify the man as Fred Blackstock, a local aristocrat who had been reported dead at sea.

Events are further complicated by a TV company that wants to make a film about Norfolk's deserted air force bases, the so-called Ghost Fields, which have been partially converted into a pig farm run by one of the younger remaining Blackstocks.

Then human bones are found on the farm and, as the greatest storm Norfolk has seen for decades brews in the distance, another Blackstock is attacked. Can the team outrace the rising flood to find the killer?

Critic reviews

Elly Griffiths writes ever-more ingenious detective stories with a powerful sense of place and a varied cast of sympathetic and unusual characters. Her heroine is a winner
Griffiths weaves superstition and myth into her crime novels, skilfully treading a line between credulity and modern methods of detection

Although not quite as bad as the reading of A Dying Fall, the same reader gives another mannered performance. Cathbad barely appears in this one so we are not treated to the same level of dire characterisation. Cathbad is one of the best characters in the RG novels and is badly let down by this narrator.

another wonderful novel ruined by the performance

Never listened to any of the authors previous books, it was easy listening and would listen to another, I know my wife will enjoy it.

Not my normal listen

I have reviewed this book previously but I find that there is always something new in these books. Ruth and Nelson are again faced with murder and mayhem, this time we are immersed into the ghost fields which are dotted all over Norfolk. A fascinating slip back to the war years. If you haven't read this series I recommend you begin with the first and trundle on through the rest. A great series of whodunnits. You won't be disappointed, I guarantee.

Another superb story from Elly Griffiths

The story was so compelling full of plot twists. The voicing of the characters was perfect and it was overall an incredible book.

This was AMAZING
