The Lantern Men

De: Elly Griffiths

Narrado por: Jane McDowell

Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway changed her life - until a convicted killer tells her that four of his victims were never found, drawing her back to the place she left behind.

Everything has changed for Ruth Galloway. She has a new job, home, and partner, and she is no longer North Norfolk police’s resident forensic archaeologist. That is, until convicted murderer Ivor March offers to make DCI Nelson a deal. Nelson was always sure that March killed more women than he was charged with. Now March confirms this and offers to show Nelson where the other bodies are buried - but only if Ruth will do the digging.

Curious, but wary, Ruth agrees. March tells Ruth that he killed four more women and that their bodies are buried near a village bordering the fens, said to be haunted by the Lantern Men, mysterious figures holding lights that lure travelers to their deaths.

Is Ivor March himself a lantern man, luring Ruth back to Norfolk? What is his plan, and why is she so crucial to it? And are the killings really over?

Excellent as always

A bit darker than usual but kept pace and all favorite characters appear including Flint

Plenty of Plot Twists

I love Elly Griffiths' stories, and enjoyed this one thoroughly. The plot twists kept me guessing. I just can't see the everlasting attraction to Harry. Ruth should move on!

Pretty good

I wouldn't say it's the best in the series but it's still pretty good.

I could have done without hearing the narrator swallowing all the time but hey it happens. The woman that does the "Thank you for being a recorded books listener" sound very depressed.

I won't go into details about the book cause the summary describes it well enough. I can also accidentally give things away.

wonderful

love love love, this book I have all the books in the series the only problem is having to wait for the next one

Perfection

I enjoyed everything about this title. I was eagerly waiting for this new book in the series and I wasn't disappointed. The narrator was perfect as was the story. The only downside is that I now have to wait for the next one.
