The Man in Black
From the internationally bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway Mysteries, an eclectic, thrilling collection of short stories, featuring many characters that readers have come to know and love.
Elly Griffiths has always written short stories to experiment with different voices and genres as well as to explore what some of her fictional creations such as Ruth Galloway, Harbinder Kaur, and Max Mephisto might have done outside of the novels. The Man in Black gathers these bite-sized tales all together in one splendid volume.
There are ghost stories, cozy mysteries, tales of psychological suspense, and poignant vignettes of love and loss.
In the title story, Ruth Galloway crosses paths with a mysterious man in a bookstore, setting in motion a rescue mission that hinges on the legends and lore of Norfolk.
Looking into the past, a young magician in 1920s Leeds wonders just what happened to his missing landlady in “Max Mephisto and the Disappearing Act.”
In “Justice Jones and the Etherphone,” a witty girl detective investigates the dire prediction of a fortune teller in dreary postwar London.
A flashback in time reveals Harbinder Kaur as a Detective Sergeant surviving her first day on the job at Shoreham DCI.
To celebrate the holidays, Ruth gets her very first Christmas tree, and her beloved cat narrates his own seasonal story in “Flint’s Fireside Tale.”
And readers can armchair travel with stories set on the Amalfi Coast, in Capri, and in Egypt as Ruth and DCI Nelson experience their very own version of Death on the Nile.
The Man in Black illustrates the breadth and variety of Elly Griffiths’s talent for blood-chilling, page-turning stories all with her trademark humor and heart.

I looked multiple ways to find a copy of this very short story and I finally messaged the author on Goodreads. She very kindly sent me a file copy. I was thrilled to read it! Thanks to Elly Griffiths after unsuccessfully trying so hard in so many locations to get a copy to read!
I loved the story. 4-1/2 stars This story and many of the series novels probably deserve 5 stars. I think I do the same thing with this author that I do with Patricia Polacco which is compare them with themselves and that’s not entirely fair.
It’s whetted my appetite even more to read the next novel in the series, The Night Hawks. I find the series to be addictive. I read the first 11 books in about half a year. I wanted to space them out but I could not stop reading. I had a short wait for book 12 and now a much longer wait for the next book, number 13.
It was so great to be back with these characters and these places. Ruth, Kate now 10, Cathbad, Nelson, Flint, Clara, Kate’s school whose motto I love, and I think a new character I loved. I really love Kate and Ruth and all the gang.
There is a book theme and I’ll bet there is for all the Jarrolds short stories. It was wonderful and I got a kick out of it.
The mystery, which could have been really scary and really sad, was told with humor and great wit and so it wasn’t too painful to read. It also helped that because this is a short, short story it didn’t take long to get to the happy resolution.
Thoroughly enjoyable. I wish it was longer just so I would have had more to read but it was a successful short story and very well written and told. A complete story despite its short length.
If (only if) you already know my email address, I’m happy to send you the file or even do a copy and paste if the file doesn’t work for you. I’d hate to have the author inundated with requests. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy the Ruth Galloway series. As with the Christmas short story, this story is meant to be read between certain books, in this case between books 12 and 13.

This short story was meant to be available in my local department store which was mentioned in the story, it wasn’t so ironically my goodreads friend in San Francisco sent me a PDF!
Short stories are hard to pull off, especially in a handful of pages like this one was. I enjoyed being back with these characters who have started to feel like I’m reading about friends. I enjoyed the mystery although I do feel that cats in danger have featured in one too many Ely Griffiths book. I do love the way local folklore is blended into the story, it’s great from a historical point of view and it always seems plausible if you’ve heard it somewhere else first.
This has made me eager to check if my place has moved from the hundreds of people ahead of me for the latest Ruth Galloway book!

I needed something familiar, fun and magical and this short read did it. Well written, a little gem of a story. The master storyteller in Elly Griffiths did it again.

A short story of a mere 12 pages that lift a corner for a brief insight into the magical world in Norfolk that Ruth inhabits with her daughter Kate and pet cat Flint.
There is still room for Nelson and Cathbad is never far away.
With humour about the whole promotion of their books that author’s undertake, and an appreciation for the work of local bookshops. These few pages became part of the Ruth Galloway legacy and was available on Jerrold’s website.
After my initial reading of this piece in November 2020 I wrote this to the author.
“Loved your short story; wonderfully woven together with humour and space for all your well drawn characters.
Who’d have thought Kate was a budding detective? Even in a few pages you managed to produce an intensity in Ruth and Nelson’s close proximity.
Above all, the sense of special places, the mystical and religious margins, that make your writing vibrant and akin to some of those Scandinavian folklore and traditions.”
Leaves you wanting more, fortunately there are 15 excellent novels in this series, none of which would be a disappointment we’re you to read them.
Paws for thought - ‘who writes these short stories?’
Postscript: So sorry to hear Jarrolds bookstore is closing and that Gus is no more, but never forgotten.

The Man in Black is a free short story in the Ruth Galloway series, which begins with Ruth encountering a man in black in the Jarrold’s book department, features Kate and Flint, Harry Nelson and Cathbad, and half a dozen missing cats. Delightful!
January 22, 2024
The Man in Black is an entertaining short story that slots chronologically between The Lantern Men and The Night Hawks in Elly Griffiths' much loved and acclaimed Ruth Galloway series.
Ruth and her daughter Kate, aged ten, have returned to their isolated home on the Saltmarsh in north Norfolk. While shopping in Jarrolds bookshop for a gift for Kate's upcoming birthday, Ruth encounters a curious man, who she initially mistakes for a Hallowe'en decoration. The man introduces himself as Raven, a long-lost friend of Cathbad's, and recommends a book, The Hytersprites, for Kate, which Ruth duly purchases. The book opens dialogue between the characters about the mythical creatures featured in the story, who are the subject of Norfolk legend, malignant sprites who inhabit underground tunnels.
Their new knowledge enables Ruth, Kate and Cathbad to assist local police in solving a recent spate of cat-thefts (as opposed to cat burglaries!).
This short story was available for a time on the Jarrolds website, however it's no longer accessible. My sincere thanks to Elly Griffiths (Domenica De Rosa) for very kindly emailing a copy to enable me to complete the Aussie Lovers of Crime/Mystery/Thriller/Suspense Read-a-Series Challenge.
The Man in Black will be included in a new compilation of short stories by Elly Griffiths, featuring several of her series characters, entitled The Man in Black and Other Stories, which is scheduled for publication on 4 June 2024.

Elly does it again! Not only can she write slaying full length novels, but she can write short stories that don’t feel like the author didn’t have the ability to scale.

The Man in Black by Elly Griffiths is a short story in the Ruth Galloway mystery series.
Series Background: (Warning – May contain spoilers from previous books)
Ruth is a Forensic Archaeologist who lives in a rather remote cottage on the edge of the Saltmarsh near Norfolk England. She teaches at the university, and has a daughter by DCI Harry Nelson, an already married police officer. Their relationship is complicated. Ruth seems to help solve most of the crimes in the area, as they usually involve the discovery of bones. As well, there is often some aspect of religion in these books. Although Ruth believes in very little, Harry is a lapsed Catholic, their friend Cathbad is a Druid, and all of their families are quite religious.
My Synopsis: (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions)
While Ruth is killing time in a bookstore, she runs into a strange friend of Cathbad's. He recommends a book called "The Land of Hytersprites" for Kate.
That book will help them solve the case of the abducted cats.
My Opinions:
Even for a really short story, the characters shine. I still feel that next to Ruth, Cathbad is my favorite.
What starts as a silly little plot, became a good mystery, all in a few pages.
I guess this proves it, I will read anything Elly Griffiths writes!

This was a cute short story that takes place between books 12 (The Latern Men) and 13 (The Night Hawks) of the Dr. Ruth Galloway mystery series. Ruth, Nelson, and Cathbad watch as Kate solves the mystery of a spate of stolen cats.

Good short story - but too short!
November 25, 2024
A short story which is effectively #12.5 of the Ruth Galloway novels – a series of crime novels featuring a Norfolk based forensic archaeologist and of particular interest to me given my interests in both Norfolk and archaeology (see my review of “The Janus Stone”) – fitting between the “Lantern Men” and “The Night Hawks”.
It is actually a hard-to-access short story specially commissioned by the Norwich Department store Jarrolds in whose excellent book section the story opens.
The story itself is a rather simple and low stakes one involving the mysterious disappearance of some cats, with some local colour and folklore around the hidden tunnels and Hyper Sprites of Blakeney (https://www.norfolklive.co.uk/news/no...) as well as a rather nice in-joke about children’s authors.
One for Ruth Galloway completists and now available as the title story in Elly Griffiths 2024 short story collection

I've missed reading Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway series. How fun it was to discover The Man in Black collection of short stories with some Galloway stories in the mix. The daughter Kate is now 14 years old in one of the stories. She's performing a school production of Shakespeare in a famous old London theatre. Of course, Kate steals the show in the eyes of her parents, Dr. Ruth and DCI Nelson.
It was wonderful to be reunited with a predictable author of tame mysteries, especially those that involve Ruth's forensic archeologist's skills and really old, old skeletons.

I've read quite a few Elle Griffiths novels now and some of these short stories were good, but many of them felt as though they'd been written in a hurry and weren't really Elle Griffiths' style at all.
November 17, 2024
It was nice to see Ruth, Kate and Nelson back together again on Norfolk soil. I like the mini stories because they bridge the gap between the main books.
I can’t wait for The Night Hawks.

What could be better than a new Elly Griffiths story? Nineteen new Elly Griffiths stories, that’s what! And that’s exactly what her many devotees can look forward to in this collection of bite-size tales. Ruth Galloway is here; so are Max Mephisto and Harbinder Kaur. They each have their own story, sometimes more than one, and there’s one which features all three of them. Even Justice Jones gets a look in, from Griffiths’s series for young people, though this is a grown up version of Justice. But familiar faces and locations account for fewer than half the stories; the rest are mostly set on home ground, but a couple venture as far afield as Egypt and Sorrento.
Mostly the stories are the kind Elly Griffiths is best known for: mysteries to be solved, the occasional body. Not all of them, though; there are ghost stories, domestic mini-dramas, and warm, sometimes wistful tales that are just about people. Every single one features well observed characters, and comes laced with the wry wit and sideways look at the world which has become something of a trademark.
They all have two essential qualities in common: characters we can recognize, and locations we can visualize. Griffiths’s regular readers know that Nelson is stolid and slightly grumpy, albeit observant and shrewd; that Harbinder is far cleverer than she thinks she is; and that Max Mephisto’s charm doesn’t always conceal resourcefulness and keen perception. For readers making their first acquaintance, all those qualities and much more besides are as clear as crystal here; and a host of new characters are every bit as sharply drawn. The locations, too, unfold like a movie behind the action: beaches and towns, homes and gardens; the effect of different kinds of light on the sea; the perilous route across the saltmarsh to Ruth’s isolated cottage; the way British weather can turn on a sixpence.
It all adds up to the kind of absorbing storytelling established fans have come to expect and new ones will enjoy for its own sake and as a taste of pleasures to come – but in bedtime reading chunks which won’t keep you up till the small hours and make you sleep through the alarm. Unless you’re like me, and just keep reading another one... and another... and another. And for those of you who haven’t yet discovered the full-length novels (there surely can’t be more than a dozen of them!) these mini-treats are an ideal jumping-off point.

This is a short short set in the world of the Ruth Galloway series. I had to track it down since I love the series so much. Despite being so short, the story has everything that I love about the books:
1. Recurring characters (Ruth, Nelson, Cathbad, Kate and Flint the cat all appear).
2. Norfolk folklore - Both the Hytersprites, fey sprites who steal children, and the violinist and his cat who disappear in to the tunnels never to be seen again were appropriately spooky.
3. Norfolk landscape - beautiful descriptions of the sea and sky
I also enjoyed the self-deprecating joke at the end!

EXCERPT: ‘Try this.’ The man is holding a book which he passes to Ruth. It’s called The Land of the Hytersprites and has a rather beautiful cover, green with blue snakes meandering across it. The title sounds a bit childish but when Ruth opens the book, the type is adult-sized and she catches the words ‘subterranean’ and ‘surreal’. This will do for Kate.
‘Thank you,’ she says.
‘Be sure to tell Cathbad that you’ve seen me.’
‘I didn’t catch your name.’
‘People call me Raven.’
Of course they do.

Elly Griffiths has written two really good series. This one features a forensic archaeologist. Really interesting to read about her work, alongside a tantalising personal life. Definitely worth a try!

An enjoyable short story featuring Ruth, Kate, Cathbad, and Nelson, along with Flint and a host of other cats. A little mystery with a happy ending. Very suitable for October and November
