About this listen

A killer is hiding in plain sight, like a snake in the long grass...

When Dr Nell Ward stumbles across a woman's body amongst the purple heather on Furze Heath, she was on the lookout for nests of poisonous adders.

But something is lurking out here far more dangerous than vipers.

A cold-blooded killer is on the loose and this is not his first victim. As DI James Clark begins to investigate, a pattern emerges pointing towards this being the work of a serial killer. Every victim shares the same physical characteristics - all of which are a match to Nell herself.

As Nell is pulled into a tightly coiled mystery, she can't help feeling someone is tracking her every move...

Can she unmask the murderer before they strike again?©2023 Sarah Yarwood-Lovett (P)2023 Bonnier Books UK

I have enjoyed most of the Nell Ward series so far (in order of preference Book 4, 1, 3 then 2). This is the most realistic in the series so far and I enjoyed the move back to a more ecological basis for solving the murder after the departure for book 2. More like this one please Sarah Yarwood-Lovett!

Strongest book of the series so far

Great story from a very knowledgable author. This book is as good as call the other books that preceded this one. Great characters,storyline and perfect for crime fiction lovers. As always a resounding recommendation, 5 stars.

I am so enjoying these books! The story is well written, wonderfully peopled and has ecological insights I will cherish. This is another lovely twisty tale with old friends developing and new stories to their characters a well as new regions described with scenery and local ecology explained, whilst the human characters are woven into the landscape with some deadly, some loving tales and happenings with mystery and a cliff edge finale. Another delightful foray into British a genre at its best!

Well worth the listen!!

Every bit as intriguing and entertaining as the first three, I especially loved the car journey towards the end, it was very intense.

Excellent

I almost didnt buy this audio as i found the previous book annoying. Im glad i did though as i quite enjoyed this one. It's probably the best so far and Nell didnt annoy me quite as much.

My one criticism is that the author drags the ending out longer than it needs to be. We already have the story concluded & murder mystery solved but she insists on having all the characters sitting together at the end, being all jolly, listening to how the wonderful Nell solved the murder, then various members of the police & disregard confidentiality and spread gossip...It goes on...and on...and on!

Much better than book 3!
