Then Justice faces her biggest challenge yet. Could there be a spy in their midst?

About the author

Thank you for visiting my Amazon author page! I'm the author of two crime series, the Dr Ruth Galloway books and the Brighton Mysteries. Last year I also published a stand-alone, The Stranger Diaries, and a children's book, A Girl Called Justice. I have previously written books under my real name, Domenica de Rosa (I know it sounds made up).
The Ruth books are set in Norfolk, a place I know well from childhood. It was a chance remark of my husband's that gave me the idea for the first in the series, The Crossing Places. We were crossing Titchwell Marsh in North Norfolk when Andy (an archaeologist) mentioned that prehistoric people thought that marshland was sacred ground. Because it's neither land nor sea, but something in-between, they saw it as a bridge to the afterlife; neither land nor sea, neither life nor death. In that moment, I saw Dr Ruth Galloway walking towards me out of the mist...
I live near Brighton with Andy. We have two grown-up children. I write in a garden shed accompanied by my cat, Gus.

I have to say that I love the Justice books.
This book starts on the day that war is declared with Germany, 3rd Sept 1939.
I love the language and cadence it flings you straight back to the era.
This story sees the school take in a boys school which has been evacuated.
Everyone is feeling the effect from the war effort, from the girls having to do the cleaning duties, to the school growing their own veggies and raising hens and pigs, to running out of cocoa powder, blackout curtains and violations, and carrying gas masks.
Justice’s mystery is war related and very close to home, as her dad goes missing. It’s a spy related mystery.
I think that this is my favourite of the Justice stories. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Justice and her friends are all getting a little older and starting to grow up. This book also feels a little more serious, as it takes place at the start of the Second World War.
This time, the mystery revolves around Justice’s father, who goes missing after visiting her. There are a number of other strange happenings, and Justice and her friends are soon embroiled in another plot!
I really enjoyed spending more time with this great group of characters - as well as a few new ones. The plot was fun and the ending satisfying.
Overall, this was another quick and enjoyable adventure with Justice and her friends. I’m looking forward to reading the next one!
