Elly Griffiths' A Dying Fall blends mystery and archeology seamlessly, delighting readers with engaging characters, particularly the intrepid Ruth Galloway. The narrative's atmospheric settings and well-researched historical elements are commendable. However, some found the plot predictable and pacing uneven. Overall, an enjoyable but occasionally flawed read.
A reader who enjoys Elly Griffiths' A Dying Fall would likely be captivated by intricate mysteries and strong character development. Comparable to fans of Tana French's In the Woods and Louise Penny's Still Life, they appreciate atmospheric settings, forensic anthropology, and a blend of personal and procedural drama.
