About this listen

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?

From The Crossing places the story line has been excellent. There is always so much happening….this has been the first audio book of the series as I could not wait any longer for the library to get through the holds. I will be sorry to get to the end, a great series with excellent story lines is hard to find.

The whole series….

I look forward to the next book.

Oh, come on. Why so sappy? Let Ruth have some dignity. Let her rescue herself, let her stop pining for her one true love like a Disney princess.
The worst American accent in Audible.
This is a borderline interesting series but this book is awful.

How pathetic
