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.

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.

Overall enjoyable, but something missing
The latest Jackman and Evans mystery was enjoyable, but I couldn't help feeling there was something lacking in the story this time. I didn't feel the same anticipation as the mystery unfolded, as I had in the past. And a death that should have been impactful, instead felt lackluster in its presentation. I truly enjoy these novels, but if this had been the first one I listened to, I wouldn't have wanted to continue with the series. Richard Armitage's narration was wonderful, as always.

Joy's stories performed by Richard Armitage is such a winning combination, it's addictive. I've listened to all 9 books in the series with huge enjoyment. Every story different, all surprising, suspenseful, interesting, and way above average. I can't wait for more.
