Writing career

Griffiths' first series features as a main character forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway, who lives in a remote seaside cottage near King's Lynn in Norfolk and teaches at the University of North Norfolk. This character was inspired by Griffiths' husband, who gave up a city job to train as an archaeologist,[4] and her aunt, "who lives on the Norfolk coast and filled her niece’s head with the myths and legends of that area".[5] Griffiths released the first book in this series, The Crossing Places (Ruth Galloway, #1), in 2009.[6]

Griffiths' second series, set in Brighton in 1950, features as a main character Detective Inspector Edgar Stephens. Griffiths released the first book in this series, The Zig Zag Girl, in 2014.[7]
