À propos de cet audio
Stella won't give up, but she doesn't know how to go on.
Stella North, a rising star in the police, has her life torn apart by a gunman's bullets. She has often faced danger, but these injuries mean she must give up the job she loves. Her grandmother Beth is her rock. And Beth is no ordinary woman. At 70, she runs marathons and has a past that Stella knows very little about.
Beth calls in her friend, Michael, to help with Stella's recovery. But this man means a lot more to Beth than she reveals. And Stella's ex-husband, Edward, and old police partner, Robbie, want to help, but Stella puts up emotional barriers, and they have problems of their own. Her old friends from her days of Urbex (exploring old abandoned buildings) offer a glimmer of hope for the future.

Inspiring and endearing
Although not her usual criminal investigation story, I enjoyed the story related to policing. Never give up, always consider accepting effective help, and look to the horizon.
Good narration too

Life changes and love
This novel, written by Joy Ellis, is about characters related to the police forces she usually writes about and characters surrounding those police members, but there is no murder mystery to solve. This novel is about life changes and love. The narrator, Shiromi Arserio, fits this story as it is slower paced and involves one main character in particular who is older. I enjoyed the well-developed characters and became invested in their relationships. There were some twists and turns, and I was pleased with the ending. Although different, another good Joy Ellis book!

Lovely story with a few surprises!
Ties in with my favourite series but had some very personal connections as my son has had a brain injury. Thank you Joy for another great book!

very enjoyable!
Love this author and how the characters all overlap with her other books but also stand alone for new readers/listeners.

CW: suicide
spoiler alert ⚠️
content warning
Do not go in expecting a mystery, it is not one. Instead it is a really heartstrings pulling story about regrets and healing and moving on. There is one genuine trigger warning I would like to provide: there is an oddly supportive discussion on the suicide of a disabled person. This is not the only depiction of disability in the book, there are many, nor the only discussion of suicide, and the others arguably complicate and add nuance to the book's perspective. However there are definitely folks who will find this difficult, uncomfortable, maybe infuriating, and potentially triggering, so please look after yourselves.

Gripping and Emotional Roller-Coaster? No!
I've read most of Joy Ellis' books and that's why I bought this one. Joy Ellis usually writes in the crime/detective/thriller genre. This was actually quite the opposite; it was more of a love story. Personally, I think she should stick with her normal genre. The narrator was awful. Her voice was gravelly and monotonous. I won't be listening to any of the books she narrates. It was a struggle to finish the book and I only did because 1- I usually try my best to finish books I don't like and 2- I wanted to give Joy Ellis the benefit of the doubt... maybe it would get better. Audiobooks are quite unique in that you need both the author and narrator to be awesome in order to create a fantastic product. This was not the case.
While I don't recommend this book, I will give her new books in this genre another try. But label it as it is: It's not crime, not thriller, and not a roller-coaster. This was more of a 'Danielle Steele' or 'Nora Roberts' feel good/love story rather than a 'Joy Ellis'. Nothing wrong with these authors, just not what I was expecting to read.
