The Stone Circle

by Elly Griffiths · 2019

When a series of anonymous, menacing letters lands on DCI Nelson’s desk, they echo a case that has haunted him for years. At the same time, Ruth Galloway, the intrepid archaeologist‑turned‑sleuth praised by Louise Penny, receives a chilling note that appears to be from her long‑dead mentor—the very man who first drew her into Nelson’s world. As the past reaches out with a deadly grip, Ruth must untangle a web of old grudges, buried secrets, and a ghostly presence that refuses to stay buried. In this delightfully creepy mystery, the familiar blend of forensic detail, strained relationships, and atmospheric suspense keeps the pages turning long into the night. Ruth and Nelson race against time to uncover who is sending the letters, why the dead seem to be speaking again, and whether the stone circle at the heart of the case holds the key to stopping a new wave of terror.
