Review: I’ve read several of Elly Griffith Dr Ruth Galloway books - the latest one The Locked Room & two earlier ones, written with intriguing plots & characters set in Norfolk. I live in Sussex & know Brighton well & have found the ‘50’s setting intriguing & atmospheric with locations I know: I like the dynamics of Max & Edgar: from their wartime magic Men endeavours, to helping solve crimes together in this changing postwar Brighton. Slightly tawdry & down at heel in places the seaside resort feels real, dark alleys & hints of its grand past filter through & the author knows it well. Ruby / Max’s daughter is intriguing- wanting to be successful in a new Elizabethan era of TV magic to the masses to emulate her father’s theatrical success! I like DS Emma forging a career in a male dominated police force. She’s smart & intuitve and wants to show her family she’s made the right career choice. The 3 books I’ve read are v different but the combined skills of police & magic work well & are rewarding to read. Recommended
