Summary

The newly discovered novel from multi-million-selling author Joy Ellis. Never-before published!

THREE NICE PEOPLE. THREE TERRIBLE CRIMES. WHAT MADE THEM DO THESE AWFUL THINGS?

It’s the night shift worker who finds them. Huddled in a hospital store cupboard is elderly Edith Higgins. Knifed to death. Sitting behind her is Staff Nurse Lily Frampton, a scalpel clasped in her blood-soaked hand.

No one can understand why this kind-hearted, dedicated nurse would brutally murder a frail patient she’s spent months caring for.

That same day, mild-mannered schoolteacher Rod Black is found surrounded by the battered bodies of his pupils. Why would a well-respected teacher beat five schoolboys to death?

Then a third shocking — and equally inexplicable — incident takes place in a London homeless shelter.

The colour of. Mystery

I’m a reel joy ellis fan and I think these two books are some of her best the story line keeps you captivated waiting to find out what’s happening next you are at no point bored as the stories move quite fast they are not filled with pages and pages of drivel and filler that is so boring that we seem to get in a lot of books these days.
This is and so is the first book a great story a really good read .

The suspense

Yet another great story. What a shame they have been in the attic for such a long time. We can do with more excellence in the same vein. Loved the characters and the suspense trying to work out who the villain was

Surprisingly for me I enjoyed this book

Had the first book from the plus catalogue and was surprised how much I enjoyed it as I don’t go for supernatural crime novels. Used a credit for this one and enjoyed it immensely too! I know they’re early previously unpublished books but would definitely use a credit if she were to write book 3 keeping the same format.

Splendid mix of crime and the paranormal.

Just wish there was a third book in the series. Loved the first and second book, very thought provoking.
