"Ruth is in London clearing out her mother's belongings when she makes a surprising discovery: a photograph of her Norfolk cottage taken before Ruth lived there. Her mother always hated the cottage, so why does she have a picture of the place? As she died three years ago, Ruth can't exactly ask her, and her father denies all knowledge of the picture. The only clue is written on the back of the photo: Dawn, 1969."
The Ruth Galloway series is a great favorite of mine and this one was no exception. It seems to both illustrate the UK's "lockdown" from Covid and hopefully point towards Book # 15. The ending took me by surprise and I went back 2 chapters and reread. Will Nelson and Ruth get together in the next outing?
After all "Nelson vows to take Ruth and Kate to live with him. But they, and Dawn, have vanished." So of course I was expecting that!
As always there were multifaceted background stories going on, probably Nelson and Cathbad will discuss their mutual "dream", which brought Cthabad back from the brink. The two of them have quite a bond which they share with Ruth and Kate.
So enjoyable! Cannot wait for the next outing.
