The Lantern Men

Author: Elly Griffiths

In “The Lantern Men,” Elly Griffiths weaves a chilling tale that kept me up late into the night. Dr. Ruth Galloway, forensic archaeologist extraordinaire, is drawn back to Norfolk by a convicted killer’s tantalizing offer. As she unearths long-buried secrets, the line between past and present blurs. Griffiths’ knack for atmospheric storytelling shines through, making the marshlands feel alive with whispered mysteries. I found myself holding my breath during tense moments, completely immersed in Ruth’s world. A gripping read that’ll haunt you long after the last page.

Sometimes the past is the heaviest burden to bear.
