And Joy Ellis, the book's author
Joy Ellis started her career as a flower seller in Mayfair in the 1960s, before going on to open her own florist in Surrey. When the recession hit, Joy had a career change and became a bookseller, and attended a writing course in Greece where she was mentored by Sue Townsend. She now lives in the Fens with her partner Jacqueline, where the flatlands and marshes provide inspiration for her eerie plotlines.
Introducing Richard Armitage, our star narrator
Richard is well-known for his array of film, television and theatre work, including The Hobbit, Spooks and The Crucible. His trademark baritone voice has earned him recognition, too, through his performance on many notable audiobooks as well as in TV and radio show narration. This experience shines through in Armitage's gripping performance of the Jackman and Evans series where he plays host to a plethora of characters.
Summary
Introducing Audible Exclusive Their Lost Daughters, the first in the Jackman and Evans crime series, written by Joy Ellis, Audible's breakthrough crime author of 2018.
Deep in the muddy fields of the Lincolnshire Fens, a teenage girl is found wandering, delirious, claiming to have been drugged at a party. Metres away, the drowned body of another girl is found on an isolated beach. And all this on a small stretch of land where, nearly 10 years ago, the shocking disappearance of a young girl remains an open case.
For DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans, the pressure is on to bring the perpetrators of these shocking crimes to justice. Are the crimes linked? Who are these young girls? And what on earth is going on under the green and pastured land of the Lincolnshire Fens?
An Amazon Kindle number one best seller, Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis is performed by the incredible Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) and available exclusively at Audible. Be prepared for your pulse to rise and your nights to be disturbed as our breakthrough crime author of 2018 weaves her dark web of mystery. Perfect for fans of Sarah A. Denzil, LJ Ross and Denzil Meyrick.

Later in life, she began to consider a career change towards crime writing and attended a workshop in Greece led by Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole. Ellis has now left the flowers behind and dedicates her life to writing gritty crime thrillers set in the Fens, where she lives with her police officer partner.
About the narrator

Tense, atmospheric, and compelling right from the get go!!
Well done Audible!!
This was my first Joy Ellis book, but certainly will not be the last. Jackman and Marie head a team of totally believable characters. The police and forensic procedures are well informed. Very hard hitting story line, which grips the reader straight away and doesn't let go, even after the end. Extremely atmospheric and descriptive, and the pace doesn't diminish at any point. A brilliant story, and a thoroughly good listen. Richard Armitage narrates this work excellently.
Now, please excuse me - I'm off to begin another Joy Ellis/Richard Armitage collaboration.....

DI Jackman (himself), ladies and gentlemen...
Absolutely perfect! Writing, plot, ending and, most of all, characters. DI Jackman is clever and passionate, a leader for his team in the truest meaning of the word. DS Marie Evans is sensitive and intuitive, she does her job with integrity. Jackman and Evans are the perfect investigative match, and everyone can feel their mutual respect and understanding. I loved everything about this story as much as Richard Armitage's performance, his voice gave life to each different characters; especially, to Jackman, who sounds exactly himself!! Astonishingly rough or tender, given the different situations, but so empathic and compassionate, almost delicate, when it comes to deal with the victims. Thanks to the author Joy Ellis and to Richard Armitage: another great, talented narration, another amazing leading character to perform!! I'm really looking forward to the next two stories...to discover more about Jackman and Evans.
