Summary

A young woman's body is found in a remote barn on the Fens. Before she was killed, one of her fingers had been cut off. Who is inflicting this violence and why?

The young woman in the barn had been kept captive for some time. And the case shows strong similarities to an unsolved murder in Derbyshire. When another woman is found alive with similar injuries, the case grows even more complicated.

At the same time, the Fenland police have received intelligence that the ruthless criminal Freddy Carver plans to make Greenborough the hub for his new enterprise. DI Nikki Galena is desperate to track down Freddie Carver and make sure that he does not put down roots in the Fens, but finding him is not easy. And what's his connection to the kidnapped girls?

Love Joy Ellis but prob not my favourite

Really like characters and stories in the Nikki Galena stories, & again this was a good listen. For some reason the accents in this one were bit harder to get along with and the story not quite so gripping, but still enjoyed.

Wow.

Each book in this series gets better and better. Full of action and fast paced. I never figured any of it out either. We learn more about characters as the books progress.

Good book

We have listened to a large amount of Joy Ellis and have enjoyed them all we both enjoyed this story but we feeling it was spoilt by the narrator squeaky voice it really greats on our nerves we would like to listen to more story’s but certainly not read by Henrietta Meier her voice is awful
