Story
When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Detective Lauren Pengelly has only been part of the Penzance police force for less than two years, but that’s enough time to know that the sleepy Cornish town doesn’t see many murders. So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped.

Publisher's Summary
Holly Stewart moved into Solace House thinking it would be a fresh start for her and her family. She knew a tragic murder had taken place there, but she didn’t know the full ghastly history of the house.
Now, her husband has lost his job, the children are bullied at school, and someone is prowling around the garden at night. Someone who wants them gone.
Detective Jackman wants to help. Instead he’s been pulled into a 20-year-old cold case. The gruesome murder of a young woman whose head was never found. A new witness comes forward. He claims to have crucial evidence on what really happened that night.
Days later, a group of litter-pickers uncover black sacks containing dismembered human limbs. Attending the scene, DS Marie Evans is shocked to see a strange symbol carved into the victim’s flesh: the same symbol found on the headless girl all those years ago.
The murders must be connected. But why has the killer struck again — after 20years?
As the threats to the Stewart family escalate, Jackman must choose between helping people in the present and solving the crimes of the past.
Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you hooked until the explosive ending.

Lincolnshire Life
Lincolnshire was never so exciting when I lived there, but that was in the north of the county - maybe the fens are a bit darker! I do enjoy the accents and the feel of backwater country life. I like Joy Ellis's characters and the plots are always compelling and interesting. This is a very interesting story, lots of good characters with back stories that follow on from her other novels.

Utterly fascinating and menacing mystery!
There’s a sombre menace pervading Solace House, a grim Victorian dwelling. The locals distrust the place and the family who has just bought the house regret moving in. DI Jackson tries to help the family but his attention and that of the Saltern-le-Fen Police Force is quickly drawn to the activities of a dangerous, secretive cult when a member escapes and begins to tell his story. Phew, despite the gripping story and plot twists, this was a particularly gloomy story. Joy Ellis has a habit of outlining two distinct cases in each book and then combining them, she’s used this device so many times now that I expect it to happen and that undermines some of the plot twists slightly. Even so, this was hard to put down and I felt so sorry for every innocent person involved. Audio narrator Richard Armitage really does enhance the quality of these books, he is a superb performer and his voice matches the malevolent mood pervading each story.

Another great Jackman story but the shock death of a regular character was disappointing and detracted from an otherwise great book.

Told as a hour to hour account nearly.
Takes a while to get to know all the characters. So many of them interwoven in the story, together with a couple of mystery ones, whom I presume will come clear in future novels. Had me guessing. Who is that ? at their sudden appearance
Would make a good TV series, as faces could be put to all the names, to remember who is who. Other than the Main characters.
