Although it sounds to me as if it should be in her Magic Men series, The Lantern Men is actually the most recent (2020) in Elly Griffiths' Dr. Ruth Galloway series. It has dropped to £0.99 as part of today's UK Kindle Daily Deal. I love it when the UK Daily Deal puts a most-recent-in-a-major-series title on sale at £0.99. This almost never happens in the US, where even if they do go on sale, it's many months later and never this inexpensive.

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 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 travellers 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?
