The Locked Room
Readers new to this series and longtime fans will not be able to put this down, as long as they aren’t put off by the pandemic story line.

The Postscript Murders
Reminiscent of the work of Golden Age writers like Agatha Christie or Dorothy L. Sayers, Griffiths’s latest will be a hit with listeners who enjoyed Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club or Anthony Horowitz’s Magpie Murders.

A strong addition to the series; recommended for readers who enjoy a mystery investigated by relatable characters.

The Postscript Murders
Readers of Griffiths’s Edgar Award–winning The Stranger Diaries, or her “Ruth Galloway” mysteries, will welcome this book with a diverse cast of well-developed characters. However, the story drags at times. Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder Club is a stronger pick for those looking for unusual amateur sleuths.
