Description

The Outcast Dead by Elly Griffiths A macabre mystery unfolds when a body is excavated from the grounds of Norwich Castle, which was once a prison. The body may be that of Victorian murderess Jemima Green, also known as Mother Hook, who was hanged for the murder of five children. As a series of infant deaths in King's Lynn is investigated, Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist, is pulled into the case, drawing her towards the long-dead Mother Hook. The police are convinced that the mother is responsible for the latest infant deaths, but Ruth begins to suspect that there may be a connection between the past and present. As she delves deeper into the case, Ruth must navigate the complexities of a long-forgotten crime and its possible links to a recent tragedy. A gripping and unsettling mystery, The Outcast Dead is a tale of crime, history, and the power of the past to shape our present.
