An excellent mystery with an archaeological twist

The Ghost Fields (Ruth Galloway Mysteries)

By: Elly Griffiths

Rating: 5 of 5

theghostfields“The Ghost Fields” is the seventh book of an on-going series by Elly Griffiths and is the first book I have read by this author. I often start series mid-way through and one of the tests is whether or not I can enjoy the book without the earlier books in the series. In this regard, this book ranks excellent. While it is obvious that there is a long history between several of the characters, the author was able to bring me up to date without long recitations of what has happened previously or providing too much of a spoiler that makes it difficult to go back and read the previous books.

One of my favorite books by Cecelia Ahern

Love, Rosie

By: Cecelia Ahern

Rating: 5 of 5

loverosieThis is a lovely story told via letters, emails, instant message, and other forms of written correspondence. It is the story of Rosie Dunne, and to some degree, that of her best friend Alex. I have read many of Cecelia Ahern’s books over the years, including this book when it was first published under another title. This is one of my favorites and it was wonderful to have a chance to read it once again.
