Publisher's Summary

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.

great story, narrator is somewhat unitoned

great story, I'm growing fond of the two main characters.
However, I found that the narrator did not Barry her voice enough, at times I lost track of who was speaking.

Good character development

Starting to like the main characters more. Each book so far has revealed more of their personality. Especially like the way the author injects mentions of previous background so that the book can be stand alone ..... but the listener still has enough information to understand the depth of personality. Thoroughly enjoying this series.

Kept me coming back for more

Really enjoyed the storyline. Was a fun and enjoyable listen. The plot twisted enough to keep your interest. Well narrated.

Excellent

Often I will be disappointed with the second book in a series. This is definitely not what happened in this case. Both main characters are ones you get easily attached to, and the storyline was very good. I had my doubts early on about one character being a villain, probably after consuming too many suspense books, but I was not sure until the end. The narrator was good. A very good listening and I will surely listen to more in this series.

Great stories- not great narrator

I really enjoy Joy Ellis’s books and enthralling stories but this series is spoilt for me by the narrator. Her characters are weak and sometimes difficult to understand. So sad that Richard Armitage does not narrate all Joys series.

I love these books

Performance was great. I giggle sometimes when she deepens her voice for male but she’s still really good.
The stories are great. Makes you think.
