Summary

A SERIAL KILLER ON A POISONOUS MISSION PUSHES NIKKI AND HER TEAM TO BREAKING POINT  

Revellers are flocking into Greenborough for the yearly Dark Greenborough Festival, a three-day event celebrating local folklore, superstition, and the darker side of life.   

What the public doesn't know is that there has been a warning sent to the police, saying that Greenborough will be a very dangerous place this year. The anonymous letter ends with the Latin phrase, Mors certa, hora incerta: Death is certain, the hour uncertain.  

DI Nikki Galena and her team soon discover this is no hoax, as people start dying from what appears to be alcoholic poisoning. Things rapidly escalate, and as the deaths get more horrific, Nikki realizes they have a serial killer in their midst.

Excellent Plot

Great characters but still the issue of incorrect pronunciation by the narrator.
Good to go through with more experienced narrator to check.
Otherwise great listen

Very dark

Good story - few too many characters to keep up with and murders are pretty awful in nature but kept my attention. Got used to narrator by book 10

Just love this author

I await the next installment of tjis series. Joy never disappoints with the twists & turns & fast paced storylines. The narrator may not be perfection, but I now enjoy her reafing style.

I certainly didn't see the ending coming.
