Ali Dawson #2

Dödlig tid

Rate this book
Ali Dawson leder nu arbetet vid Londonpolisens avdelning för kalla fall, som inte längre reser bakåt i tiden för att leta efter bevis. Inte officiellt åtminstone … Hennes kollega Jones har levt på 1800-talet i ett års tid, under namnet lady Serafina, och verkar omöjlig att få hem. Själv arbetar Ali med ett gammalt fall som rör tre självmord; unga män som ramlat från hög höjd och svävat mot sin egen död. Alla kan kopplas till ett känt medium, som fått männen att tro att de kunde flyga.

När hennes älskade katt Terry försvinner gör Ali, mot alla regler, en desperat tidsresa. Då hamnar hon på 1800-talet – igen – och träffar Serafina Jones. Och när Ali ändå är där kanske hon kan försöka lösa fallet med de flygande unga männen innan hon måste åka tillbaka …

Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway novels take for their inspiration Elly's husband, who gave up a city job to train as an archaeologist, and her aunt who lives on the Norfolk coast and who filled her niece's head with the myths and legends of that area. Elly has two children and lives near Brighton. Though not her first novel, The Crossing Places is her first crime novel.

A great second instalment to this time travelling detective series. The story grabs you from the first page. Ali Dawson returns to 1851, although she had only wanted to go back in time by a few hours, to save her cat!
The characters in this series are so interesting and the storyline is very different from EG’s Ruth Galloway books. If you love history, historical fiction, or crime stories, you have all three in this book.
Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long for the next book in the series.🤞🤞

Absolutely fabulous.

I’m a fan of Griffith’s writing but was wary as I’m not a fan of time-travel type novels and how wrong could I be! Loved this journey from 2024 to 1851 and back again.
