Elly Griffiths: Author of The Last Remains

This week Jack is joined by Elly Griffiths. In 2009 she released The Crossing Places and introduced the world to the wonderful Dr Ruth Galloway who over several books has garnered a loyal cohort of fans from across the world. Now many mysteries later Ruth's story is coming to an end with the release of The Last Remains in January of this year.

Elly has also penned the Brighton Mysteries series as well as the Children's A Girl Called Justice series. One thing we can be sure of is there is always another great Griffith story on the horizon.
