Items related to The Vanishing Box: The Brighton Mysteries 4
The Vanishing Book is the fourth book in Dr. Ruth Galloway author Elly Griffiths' Stephens and Mephisto mystery series and it finds the duo investigating the link between a murdered Brighton flower-seller, the death of Cleopatra and a nude tableau show...
Max Mephisto and his daughter Ruby are headlining Brighton Hippodrome, but are not happy to find the support act is a group of naked 'living statues' but then they notice something a little off... One thing they know for certain is that, in Brighton especially, the line between art, life and death is easily blurred.
Packed with thrills, this is the most dangerous case yet for the heroic, crime-fighting duo.

Review:
Vivid description, masterful sleight of hand and a lightness of touch add up to a terrific read for aficionados and newcomers alike (Guardian)
A piquant mixture of humour, period detail . . . and truly beguiling characterisation (Financial Times)
Griffiths manages to juggle humour, homicide and nostalgia in a delightful read (The Times)
This series is without fail engaging and entertaining and The Vanishing Box is no exception ... I could almost smell the greasepaint and see the flutter of feathers ... Loved it! (Crimewarp)
[Griffiths] weaves a fascinating tale. And, like all good mysteries, some surprising revelations along the way with a delicious twist at the end. Highly recommended (Promoting Crime Fiction)
Griffiths pulls a truly startling rabbit out of the hat, demonstrating that this is more than the cosy mystery it initially appears (Sunday Times on The Blood Card)
The lively beginning ... broadens out into an excellent whodunnit, matched by the terrific down-at-heel atmosphere of postwar Brighton (The Times on Smoke and Mirrors)
Mixes cosiness and sharpness in a way that recalls the best of Agatha Christie (Sunday Express on Smoke and Mirrors)
Enormously engaging ... Post-war Brighton and its Theatre Royal are beautifully captured in all their seedy glory ... subtle, charming and very good (Daily Mail on The Zig Zag Girl)
Original, lively and gripping (Independent on The Zig Zag Girl)
