About this listen

Detective Nikki Galena's friend and neighbor meets a tragic end, but there's more to his death than meets the eye. And someone terrible from DS Joseph Easter's past is back.

A man is found executed on a piece of wasteland in Greenborough town. The cold-blooded murder triggers terrible memories for DS Joseph Easter. Just when things seemed to be going well for DS Easter, he realizes that the nightmare is coming back, threatening his career, his sanity, and maybe his life. In a breath-taking conclusion, even Nikki begins to doubt DS Easter as he faces a race against time to save someone very close to him.

Another story that captured every scene perfectly. Ms Ellis has inspired me save my money and visit this part of England.

I was both reading and listening to this book. I chose this series (from Joy Ellis) as I had enjoyed the Jackman and Evans series on the Fens - and the latest I read mentioned DI Nikki Galena, which piqued my interest.
I really enjoyed the story, definitely love the characters, Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter, the setting on the Fens sounds amazing, and the intrigue woven by Joy Ellis, for me, is spot on.
However, I must have been spoiled by the narrative talents of Richard Armitage.
Firstly, I had to slow down the pace of Henrietta Meire's narration - which helped a little, however it seemed to then distort the 'male' dialogue inflections. So while I may continue to read the DI Nikki Galena Series, I won't be purchasing the narrated file.

Who is the shadowy character haunting the Fens?
