About this listen

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

One moonlit night, the bodies of two young people are discovered lying entwined on a blanket in the woods. The young man is clutching a red rose. It appears to be a lovers' suicide pact....

Until Detective Nikki Galena and DS Joseph Easter look more closely. Romeo and Juliet, as they decide to call them, were murdered somewhere else and brought to the woods. But why?

Then another young couple are found dead, again beautifully posed as lovers. And Nikki knows they have a twisted serial killer on their hands. Who are the next victims?

Everyone has secrets. But some people will kill to keep them.

loved it overall but also thought Nikki and Joseph missed things they shouldn't have more than usual. I think they need a good long vacation while we wait for their next adventures. I will be having a chat with their super about that. well done once again JE and HM!

I like the characters as usual, but the story was so convoluted and didn’t seem to flow, so it was hard to keep track of.

Good but convoluted

I’m a fan of Joy Ellis’s Jackman / Evans stories & in particular the amazing voice acting associated with the series by Richard Armitage. I knew the narrator was never going to reach those heights but was so disappointed in the voice “performances” of this narrator. Set in the fens I expected at least that the accents would be correct. Only with the main character of Nicki Galena was there any attempt to do a regional accent & that came & went. I found the narration screechy & melodramatic. The story was good but overall disappointing.

Screechy & Melodramatic Narration

I really liked this book in the series. Kept me guessing the whole way. Henrietta Meire is a legendary narrator with a million voices and accents

Excellent story

I love all Joy Ellis books (except when characters die) I have listened to them repeatedly and am probably too invested in the characters and their relationships 😬

Addictive series
