Publisher's Summary

From two-million-selling author Joy Ellis comes one of the most highly anticipated mysteries this year.

Now.

In the beautiful gardens of Shelley House a shocking discovery is made. A blackened hand dangles over the side of a wheelbarrow. The horrific scent of burnt flesh lingers in the air.

Detectives Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter are called in to investigate.

Twenty years ago.

A family destroyed by tragic secrets. The scientist father who killed their gardener, before being murdered himself. The brother who disappeared, never to be seen again.

Until now?

Nikki and Joseph must find a man who's been missing for two decades and unravel the painful past of a broken family before anyone else dies.

Riveting

As usual Joy Ellis has written a book with high drama and many twists and turns. As with all her preceding books in this series it comes with a sensational story and the narrator is full of life.

Very good

Twists and turns were well done and left the listener unsure of the ending.

Narration lets it down

The story from Joy Ellis was superb as always however the narration wasn’t up to the standard I expected, having a jarring and often stilted quality to it.

DI Galena fan

I really love the characters in this series. Nikki Galena, Joseph Easter et al and all the others that Joy Ellis has written in from her other major characters and their teams.
BUT having listened to (for example) Richard Armitage and hoping as the Fens series has progressed that this narrator would be replaced, it hasn’t happened.
Unfortunately this narrator has a slight lisp, and with that so do all the characters. Many are locals from birth but the accent is not carried through.
All are read with a very forceful if not aggressive tone, when mostly not appropriate to the conversation/subject line.
I really enjoy this series as with Joy Ellis’s others but it is ruined by this narrator.

Another great book

I’ve been enjoying this series from the start. Another surprise ending but I loved the journey as the story evolved. I love the narrator and I’m surprised by other peoples reviews. I’ve realised all you can do is to listen to the sample before purchasing to decide if a narrator is right for you.
I love how Joy Ellis’ character’s from her other series are incorporated into the story.
I’ve been binging the series.

Twist and turns in this plot although some predictable. Another case investigated and solved by Nikki and her team. Well worth reading.
