The Lantern Men by Elly Griffiths -- 3 Stars
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
ISBN: 9780358237044
I thank Netgalley.com and the publisher for an early copy of The Lantern Men in exchange for the opportunity to provide an honest opinion. This novel is a creative mystery based on a local legend, but the progress of the plot is often slowed by the narrative of the lives
and relationships of Eve’s many friends, their numerous children, and the
police force. I found the drama of their personal angst to be unnecessarily excessive. While the mystery
in this book is complete with a satisfying conclusion, the character’s stories
are progressive with each book in the series. Those and many references to
events that occurred previously demand that the series should be read in the
order the books were written.
