Bringing all her old characters together in the final story was a nice touch, excellent.
I thought that the choice of material used was spot on, good to hope for more new stories.

An enjoyable easy listening group of short stories
Enjoyed the short stories as I found I could listen with ease the whole story. Loved the stories around Ruth and Nelson.
The stories are easy to listen to, very enjoyable, and well narrated. I hope we can have more of these short stories.

A little different but as always, very good
It was fun to hear the different stories and little snippets from Ruth's later life and others we've met before. one story I knew from many years ago but it came fresh to this time!!! all in all, a surprisingly good delve into 'other' genre or perhaps just snippets from another life!! most enjoyable if not quite so captivating.

Great for fans of Elly Griffiths
A good variety of different stories and narrators, best enjoyed if you’ve read the Ruth and Nelson books and know the characters.

Excellent collection of short stories.
I usually find short stories disappointing but this collection was different. It kept my interest throughout and I enjoyed each one. I like the way it brought all the author’s characters up-to-date- more of this please.

A wonderful chance to meet old friends
A wide range of short stories, but the best are meeting our friends from all of Elly’s books in new adventures ( and re-hearing about the Christmas tree!). Now we have had a glimpse of what happened next to Ruth, Nelson and Kate we’d all like more please Elly! A lovely collection of voices with Jane Macdowall producing the cadences and voices we have grown to love. Oh and how good to hear from Flint!!
