Will you miss Ruth et al whilst we wait for a new book?

Yes, of course but it's almost October and the days fly by fast and we got lots of books to read and it will be published before we know it.

So many other books out there, I doubt I'll have time to notice before the new one is upon us...

ps
Besides, I think this is a series I'd like to reread - to see the subtle changes in style that Elly has made. I can't remember the earlier books being so amusing; and Ruth no longer seems to get herself caught in dire straits.

It won't be all that long before the new one and all the "gang" is only a step away at the library.

Chalk Pit by Elly Griffiths - February 23, 2017
Book Description
'I refuse to apologise for being in love with Dr Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson . . one of my favourite current crime series ...a pleasure from start to finish' Val McDermid

Boiled human bones have been found in Norwich's web of underground tunnels. When Dr Ruth Galloway discovers they were recently buried, DCI Nelson has a murder enquiry on his hands. The boiling might have been just a medieval curiosity - now it suggests a much more sinister purpose. Meanwhile, DS Judy Johnson is investigating the disappearance of a local rough sleeper. The only trace of her is the rumour that she's gone 'underground'. This might be a figure of speech, but with the discovery of the bones and the rumours both Ruth and the police have heard that the network of old chalk-mining tunnels under Norwich is home to a vast community of rough sleepers, the clues point in only one direction. Local academic Martin Kellerman knows all about the tunnels and their history - but can his assertions of cannibalism and ritual killing possibly be true? As the weather gets hotter, tensions rise. A local woman goes missing and the police are under attack. Ruth and Nelson must unravel the dark secrets of The Underground and discover just what gruesome secrets lurk at its heart - before it claims another victim.

>6 EadieB: - I can't wait!

There are more than enough books out there to keep me occupied.

I'm not sure I would pick up these books without the discussions we're having.

>6 EadieB: Ah...a little stew? Anxiously awaiting it.

>8 sushicat: I'm glad you are participating in our discussions. You always have an insight that doesn't occur to the rest of us...and I mean that as a compliment.

I am glad everyone of us takes part in the discussions and it would be pretty boring if we all felt the same about every book :)

I want more and I want it now!

Thanks, Carol
