About this listen

Everything has changed for Dr Ruth Galloway.

She has a new job, home and partner and is no longer North Norfolk police's resident forensic archaeologist. That is, until convicted murderer Amyas 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 travellers to their deaths.

Is Amyas 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?

"My favourite current series." (Val McDermid)

I’ve loved all the Dr Ruth Galloway books. If only I hadn’t listened to them all so quickly. This one is as good as all its predecessors.

Wonderful

These books never seem to be long enough! I hope we have not heard the last of Ruth yet. As an instalment, I quite enjoyed the Lantern Men, although, as indicated, I thought it could be far longer. And I missed more archaeological involvement.

Never enough!

Totally gripping. One of her best to date. Kept you guessing until the end. Highly recommend.

Fantastic story. A real edge of the seat story.
