Elly Griffiths: The Killing Time
Ali Dawson #2
Since finishing up her beloved Ruth Galloway series, Elly Griffiths has been letting her freak flag fly with wonderful results. In this latest series, her main character, Ali Dawson, is a detective in the cold crimes division: cases so cold, they’re frozen. The unit operates out of a decrepit building in London on Eel Street, with a mysterious upper chamber called “Pevensie,” which, as every Narnia loving kid knows, was the last name of the family in the books. It’s into this air of slight unreality that the reader finds that the detectives in this cold case squad can time travel.
