Forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway changed her lifeuntil 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 polices 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 buriedbut 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?

Much like the characters in this book, I finished it with mixed emotions. I enjoyed it overall, yet at times was frustrated by it. And perhaps that's one of the draws of this series for me - I love a good mystery series, but the added factor in this one is that the characters are all too human.
Much has changed in Ruth Galloway's life since the events of the previous book in the series. She's in a new job at a different university and town, and she and her daughter are living with the new man in her life. On the surface it's all just fine, and she and her daughter have settled in nicely. But when she finds herself drawn back to her old life when an anonymous letter says she should be consulted on a murder investigation, the flames of her doubts are fanned. Pulled back into closer proximity to her old haunts and old friends, she begins to question what (and whom) she really wants. The mystery here is a good one, the human relationships feel all too real (the tension between what the head knows is good and what the heart really wants). The familiar supporting characters are here, with their own charms and issues. I look forward to whatever may be next for Ruth and friends.
My thanks to Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for providing a copy for an unbiased review.
