About this listen

One terrible case always haunted detective Matt Ballard. Now many years later, the killer seems to be back. And this time he's after Matt.

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.

Then another murder happens, with some of the hallmarks of the old case. Has the killer returned, or is this just a sick copycat determined to ruin Matt's life and reputation?

I imagine I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I had read it. The narration wasn’t for me. Reminded me of Siri on my iPhone and I couldn’t get past it.

Good story but poor narration

liked the story but the narration had a lot to be desired, it was so bad in parts it made me laugh out loud. Bryn is welsh , why a totally different accent? Bit insulted !

Have listened go all the other Joy Ellis series so thought I would start this but I couldn't finish it the narration was unlistenable, the women's voices were particularly excruciating....

Horrible Narration

Excellent story but the narrator whilst good at that and the main character was awful at women, children and people with accents. I had to just force myself on as the story was good.

Change narrator or give him some lessons

Beware of The Past by Joy Ellis. Another excellent story from Joy, as are all her other ‘crimes on the fens’ books series are.
Really gets you into the atmosphere of our UK East coast fenland, even down to broken old windmills. So exciting, it does for adults what Enid Blyton did for children of my generation way back in the 1940s.
