'Waiting on Wednesday' is an event where I feature an upcoming book that I am extra excited about. I used to do this in the past and am making it a priority to do again. Seriously, who among us doesn't have a book or two or twenty that we are excited about reading? Plus, it lets us 'spread the word' about authors and series that we personally enjoy.
I'm excited to get back to posting a 'waiting on...' book a few times a month! I'm constantly curious about what is coming out next and I was excited, intrigued, delighted, going 'yay!!' about a new series from one of my favorite authors, Elly Griffiths. I know that you guys are aware that I love series and Elly Griffiths is the author of one of my favorites - the Ruth Galloway books. Now that it seems that series is completed (or maybe is what I've heard), I'm looking forward to seeing what will be next for this talented author. I'm very curious whether the 'back in time' aspect of investigation will be anything like Kelley Armstrong's 'Rip Through Time' books. I haven't read any of those as yet, but I have 3 of them on my Kindle to try in 2025. See what you think about this one...

Cold cases are a lot easier to solve when you can travel back in time to find new evidence. Unless, that is, you get stuck in the nineteenth century…
Ali Dawson and her cold case team investigate crimes so old, they're frozen—or so their inside joke goes. Ali’s work seems like a safe desk job, but what her friends—and even her beloved son—don’t know is that her team has a secret: they can travel back in time to look for evidence.
So far, Ali has only made short trips to the recent past, so she’s surprised when she’s asked to investigate a murder in 1850. The killing has been pinned on an aristocratic patron of the arts and antiquities, and member of a sinister group called The Collectors. She arrives in the Victorian era during a mini ice age to find another dead woman at her feet and far too many unanswered questions.
But when her son is arrested, Ali attempts to return home only to find herself trapped in 1850. In a race through and against time, can Ali prove her son’s innocence and discover the link between the nineteenth-century Collectors and a twenty-first century killing in time to prevent another death?
I like this feature on your blog, Kay. I didn’t realize she is starting a new series. That’s really something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like this, Robin. Yes, I'm definitely on board - know it's many months until it come out, but I'll keep busy with other reads, right? LOL
DeleteA new book by Elly Griffiths? Yay! This sounds like a lot of fun. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, fun indeed!!
DeleteI've enjoyed a couple of Griffith's Harbinder Kaur series and would like to complete it in 2025. Would definitely read The Frozen People! I liked the first in Kelley Armstrong's Rip Through Time series.
