The Midnight Hour

Author: Elly Griffiths

In “The Midnight Hour,” Elly Griffiths weaves a spellbinding tale that kept me up well past my bedtime. Set in 1960s Brighton, this atmospheric mystery follows PI Emma Holmes as she investigates a missing persons case that quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Griffiths’ knack for period detail and complex characters shines through, making the seaside town come alive with its seedy underbelly and colorful inhabitants. I found myself completely immersed in Emma’s world, rooting for her at every turn. A perfect read for fans of noir and historical fiction alike.

Sometimes the truth is the hardest story to tell.
