The Frozen People

A Mystery

De: Elly Griffiths

Narrado por: Julie Maisey

“A pleasure from finish to start.” —Anthony Horowitz

“Fresh and exciting, with both humor and thrills, Griffiths’ first book in her new series knocks it out of the park!” —Shari Lapena

Some murders can’t be solved in just one lifetime.

Ali Dawson and her cold case team investigate crimes so old, they're frozen—or so their inside joke goes. Nobody knows that her team has a secret: they can travel back in time to look for evidence.

The latest assignment sees Ali venture back farther than they have dared before: to 1850s London to clear the name of Cain Templeton, an eccentric patron of the arts. Rumor has it that Cain is part of a sinister group called The Collectors. Ali arrives in the Victorian era to another dead woman at her feet and far too many unanswered questions.

As the clock counts down, Ali becomes more entangled in the mystery, yet danger lurks around every corner. She soon finds herself trapped, unable to make her way back to her beloved son, Finn, who is battling his own accusations in the present day.

Could the two cases be connected? In a race through and against time, Ali must find out before it’s too late.

I love the series about Ruth Galloway and this is just as gripping !!

I recommend this book for those of you who have enjoyed the Ruth Galloway series and for anyone who loves a character driven exciting mystery . Time travel is a excellent twist for the plot

Excellent and gripping

As a big fan of the Ruth series I was doubtful about a time travel book, but once it started it was so well presented and gripping, I couldn’t stop listening and can’t wait for the next installment!

Couldn’t put it down!

Loved the book! The right amount of fantasy combined with universal human emotions. Griffiths always comes through!!!

Loved!!!!

Wasn't sure if I would like this one because I love Ellie's Ruth and Harbinder series but can't with her Magician ones. Enjoyed ever bit of this one. Can't wait for more.

So refreshing!!!

Loved this story!!! Plot was great, I love a good mystery with a twist. I felt the ending was a bit rushed but it definitely left me wanting more. This was a great listen and a refreshing story overall, I was in a slump and this pulled me out. Thank you to both the author and narrator.

The Frozen People Kept Me Enthralled

Alison is a fully developed wise non-traditional detective. She is courageous and loyal to her family and co-workers. Her sleuthing mysteries unfold both in the present and the 19th century. Time travel, intrigue and friendship richly add to the bending twists of the story.

Loved it.

Quirky mystery with a time travel twist. If you like Griffiths other series, this one has a similar tone.

Elly Griffiths expands genres excellently

As a fan, I expected Griffiths’ usual well-constructed characters and solid world-building. Sci-fi is tricky though, and while the mechanics were vague and the historical support and research arm of a top-secret project government/police apparently whimsical and sparse, I was happy to suspend my doubts and let her writing skills and deft ability to create believable relationships (in two centuries!) carry me along. I’ll definitely be back for the next book in this series.

Made me want to join the time travel team!

I love Ella Griffith and this book did not disappoint. I can’t wait for the sequel coming out in 2026.

Super Creative

Love the new cast of characters! Love the nod to Audrey Niffenegger, etc. Endless potential for a series. Elly is amazing. Thanks for a great read!
