Ali Dawson #2
Drabets tid
Not yet published
Expected 13 Feb 26Et mystisk dødsfald trækker tråde til fortidens mørke hemmeligheder i andet bind af Elly Griffiths’ charmerende og originale bestsellerserie om den tidsrejsende efterforsker Alison Dawson fra Londons Politi.
Ali og hendes team efterforsker gamle kriminalsager, der har været henlagt så længe, at de må rejse tilbage i tiden for at opklare dem. Men afdelingen har haft forbud mod at tidsrejse, siden deres tekniske ekspert blev fanget i victoriatidens London og aldrig kom tilbage. For at distrahere sig selv fra kedelige rutineopgaver beslutter Ali at undersøge en helt ny sag: En ung mand har tilsyneladende begået selvmord ved at springe ud fra en høj bygning. Sporene leder Ali i retning af en karismatisk clairvoyant, som skulle have bildt den unge mand ind, at han kunne flyve. Da Alis elskede kat, Terry, forsvinder, trodser hun forbuddet og rejser tilbage i tiden for at finde ham igen. Men rejsen går galt, og Ali strander i 1800-tallets London – hvor hun møder både gamle bekendte og suspekte typer, som viser sig at spille en central rolle i sagen om den døde unge mand.

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.
