About The Outcast Dead by Elly Griffiths
In Norwich, an annual service commemorates people buried in paupers’ graves. Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway has a particular connection to this year’s ceremony: a recent dig at Norwich Castle uncovered the remains of Mother Hook, a woman hanged in 1867 for murdering five children. Ruth is also appearing on a television series about women who kill, alongside history expert Professor Chet Bruce.
Meanwhile, DCI Harry Nelson investigates the deaths of three children found at home. When a kidnapper known as the Childminder claims responsibility for a child’s abduction, the two cases may be connected—and another child goes missing. This instalment of the Ruth Galloway series brings forensic archaeology, Victorian crime and a present-day police investigation together in a Norfolk mystery.
