Über diesen Titel

 SOME MURDERS CAN'T BE SOLVED IN JUST ONE LIFETIME.

'A five-star start to a dazzling new series . . . Smart, original and utterly masterful' Janice Hallett

'A pleasure from finish to start' Anthony Horowitz

'Fresh and exciting with both humour and thrills, Griffiths' first book in her new series knocks it out of the park' Shari Lapena

Ali Dawson and her cold case team investigate crimes so old, they're frozen - or so their inside joke goes. Most people don't know that they travel back in time to complete their research.

The latest assignment sees Ali venture back farther than they have dared before: to 1850s London in order to clear the name of Cain Templeton, the eccentric great-grandfather of MP Isaac Templeton. Rumour has it that Cain was part of a sinister group called The Collectors; to become a member, you had to kill a woman...

Fearing for her safety in the middle of a freezing Victorian winter, Ali finds herself stuck in time, unable to make her way back to her life, her beloved colleagues, and her son, Finn, who suddenly finds himself in legal trouble in the present day.

Could the two cases be connected?

Get ready for an original, transportive and characterful new crime novel from no. 1 bestselling author Elly Griffiths. Perfect for those missing the Dr Ruth Galloway series and for any crime and historical fiction fans.©2025 Elly Griffiths Fantasy Krimis Thriller Weibliche Detektive

A new series from Elly Griffiths is always a reason to celebrate and The Frozen People is outstanding. With consummate skill and wit, Elly creates new worlds and characters that feel utterly real. The Frozen People is a remarkable achievement from a crime fiction phenomenon.
The Frozen People has it all: mystery, humour and high stakes for a new group of heroes brought brilliantly to life by an author whose talent continues to dazzle and surprise.

Elly Griffiths is one of our very best storytellers, and The Frozen People is an outstanding start to an original new series. Mixing historical and contemporary drama, she weaves a captivating, atmospheric mystery filled with wisdom, wit and compassion. I can't wait for the next instalment.
Those of us missing Ruth Galloway need not worry because Elly Griffiths has presented us with a new character to fall in love with. Detective Ali Dawson is such a personable and relatable character. The Frozen People is wickedly entertaining, clever ... truly spooky. I loved every page.
The Frozen People is an absolute triumph, vivid, suspenseful, fierce and funny - I was all-in from page one.
A brilliant concept executed to perfection by a writer at the absolute top of her game.
I really enjoyed this book. Inventive, surprising, endlessly entertaining while being part murder mystery, part historical thriller, and part speculative fiction. Readers of any genre will enjoy sinking into its murky underworld with a protagonist they will love.

I loved this combination of police work and time travel. A very cold case and a very hot case. Maybe not my favourite narrator ever (the characters had too similar voices), but she got the emotions across very well

Interesting and thrilling

After years of adoring Elly Griffiths' writing, this book doesn't kick off for me.
The idea of being caught in time is old, the plot is boring, no one stsndd out.. I don't think I can finish it...
The narrator is brilliant.
