A review by beth_morton
The Lantern Men by Elly Griffiths

2.0

I had been a fan of this series, but stopped and started this one a few times. For some reason, the constant commentary on weight, fitness, health, and gender roles just got too overbearing this time. It’s not particularly new to this book, I was just more aware. The author tries to paint it in a light of Ruth not being bothered or taking the moral high ground, etc., so that makes it feel all the more unnecessary.

Also, too many characters to keep track of and the Ruth-Nelson will they/won’t they story line is tired. I’ve already bought more in the series, but not sure I’ll finish them.
