The Janus Stone

Author: Elly Griffiths

Archaeologist Ruth Galloway unearths more than ancient bones when a child’s skeleton is discovered at a construction site. As she delves deeper, Ruth finds herself entangled in a web of secrets spanning decades. With her keen eye for detail and knack for uncovering the truth, Ruth races against time to solve the mystery. Griffiths weaves a captivating tale of suspense, blending forensic science with human drama. I found myself completely absorbed, unable to put the book down as I followed Ruth’s journey through Norfolk’s haunting landscapes.

Sometimes the past is closer than you think.
