Can’t Wait Wednesday: The Lantern Men by Elly Griffiths

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings. This is a weekly meme to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. The books I choose aren’t released yet and usually won’t be published for at least two or three months. So I have a while to wait!

I love finding out about books set to publish in future months and I like to share my excitement about the books. I also like to find out about new books on other people’s blogs and hope they’ll sometimes find something to look forward to on my blog.

I’m excited to read . . .

Synopsis: 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.

One of my very favorite mystery series. I love the characters Elly Griffiths has created in this series–especially Ruth and Cathbad. Ruth is a forensic archaeologist and the way Ms. Giffiths weaves that into the central part of each book is wonderful. Each character in these books is interesting, but they are also very human which makes these books especially readable. They grow and change during the course of the series. And, of course, the mysteries are great!
