About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

"5/5...There just doesn't seem time to catch your breath through this book, there is just something happening all the way through it." ( I Love Reading)

The book and story are really good. But the readers accent, why has a person been given the job to read a book set in the Fens who gives all the people in it northern accents. It’s most off putting.

Good story poor delivery.

I really enjoyed another series by Joy Ellis with Richard Armitage as narrator. This narrator in this series has some pretty poor accents and incorrect pronunciations of several words which was grating.
The story was, as ever, enthralling!

Disappointing narrator performance

The story itself is very good, it jogs along well and the characters are mostly likeable and believable. The narration however leaves a lot to be desired. The lady has a rather shrill tone to her voice and she sounds really odd at times. Shame really because the story deserves better. I did force myself to listen to the end because I really wanted to know what it was all about, but I will actively avoid this narrator in future.

Great story. Odd narration
