The Frozen People
by Elly Griffiths
View in Library Catalog
book cover


THE FROZEN PEOPLE, author Elly Griffiths' latest book, has many of the same features as her previous books. She has a well drawn central character, great supporting characters, experts in a variety of subjects, and the wonderful English humor, countryside, and history. Her new book has now added time travel to the mix ... How much easier crime solving would be if the police could arrive in time to see the villain running from the body with a bloody knife in his hand? ( Why they couldn't arrive before the murder and stop it is a question for another time!) This book takes the investigators back to Victorian times. Why were they looking into such an old case? You'll have to read the book to find out ... Or, better yet, start reading her series featuring forensic pathologist Ruth Galloway!!

I have loved every book that I've read by Kristin Harmel and I loved this one too. Set primarily in 1940's Paris, it bounces to 2018. The story line is different than most WWII books. The characters were interesting and likeable. I'd love to see a present day sequel.

My new favorite book series. The TV series Tracker is based off of these novels and if you like the show, you will love the books. This one was very exciting with some thrills, twists and turns in the plot. Thre characters have a lot of depth to them and I highly recommend you start at the beginning of the series as their is a continuous undelying story that takes place throughout each of them.

Slaughterhouse-five

I was really impressed. I never got to read this book in high school, and I am glad I got to it now. It was a little disjointed, but I realized that is what made it work. It was half story, half memoir, and it made it very interesting and feel authentic. I still do not understand the point of the time travel and alien encounters, but I liked the book overall and am curious to read more of his work.
