Another amazing book in the Ruth Galloway series, I fall more and more in love with the characters with each book and this case definitely had me on the edge of my seat.

The writing is superb.  I love the way she can break from plot in a tense moment to insert a characters random thoughts.

Elly Griffiths' detectives are an automatic read for me and this didn't disappoint! Well plotted, pacing was good, and I enjoyed figuring it out along with Ruth Galloway, DCI Nelson and all their sexual tension. :D [b:The Lantern Men|44148076|The Lantern Men|Elly Griffiths|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1556631060l/44148076._SY75_.jpg|68658459]

I was looking forward to a crime novel and got a drama. I was interested in seeing a perspective of a forensic archaeologist but this book was mainly based on her life story and moved very slowly.
