The Frozen People: A Mystery (Ali Dawson Mysteries)
“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.

To begin with this book felt shallow and contrived and felt a bit dead in the water but I’m glad I continued reading. The story becomes more interesting and involved and then finally the unexpected twist.
I’ve read the Ruth Galloway books by this author and very much enjoyed them. This book lacks the depth and development of characters that those books possess but I enjoyed it all the same. I would recommend this book and will happily read more of this series hoping the characters gain more substance in time.
