Madeleine's Book Log 2025

[Madeleine]

The Man in Black and other stories by Elly Griffiths - I finally finished this one, it's a collection of short stories featuring many of her regular characters plus a few new ones as well,some are spooky, some feature a crime, some are only a few pages long, others a bit longer - the longest story, and one of the best ones, is a Ruth Galloway/Harry Nelson tale where the pair find themselves on a Nile cruise, supposedly won by Harry. Two are Christmas themed, with one again featuring Ruth and her cat, which I read last year for Xmas, and I recently decided to finish the book.  The tales are all very readable, with the author's trademark humour, and it's a good collection for dipping into if you don't feel like tackling a single book, and some are very suited to this time of year.  8/10
