Critics Review

Elly Griffiths writes with a sharp, smart eye and great elegance

Great on character and suspense

Ruth Galloway is one of the most engaging characters in modern crime fiction

Delightful … combines professional expertise with a wry sense of humour - Sunday Times

Griffiths supplies proof that thrillers can increase the pulse rate while tackling more serious issues - Guardian

Like its predecessors, The Lantern Men has a great sense of place and an awareness of the remorseless passing of time. The climactic bicycle race across the fens, foregathering all the suspects, will take your breath away - The Times

As ever, creepy Norfolk folklore is skillfully blended with the ongoing saga of the personal lives of Ruth, her friends and colleagues (and now, their children). Warm, but never cloyingly cosy, this is the most lovable of current crime series - S Magazine, Sunday Express

Once again, Elly Griffiths delivers witty, insightful and brilliant storytelling as the redoubtable Dr Galloway burrows away to expose the Lantern Men’s dark secrets - Daily Mirror
