Summary
The Fens are burning, and Detective Nikki Galena faces a cat-and-mouse battle with a killer arsonist. Someone is lighting fires. First they target homes and businesses, but then a body is found at one of the crime scenes. More fires are lit. And at each one a single person dies. But the victims have led spotless lives, and apparently there's no connection between them.
Meanwhile, the town is facing a very peculiar threat from a group of sinister Satanists led by a charismatic businessman. Who is burning with anger, and can Nikki stop them before anyone else dies?

Problems with the voice actor .
Great story, well written characterisation good
I found it difficult to follow; the narrator, the voice actor did not a sufficient range to play the parts. Sometimes it was hard to link the voices to the characters. I found the voice tedious at times even screeching.
It was frustrating to try to unravel the intricacies of the plot through the range of voices. The skills of a great voice actor include the ability to play a range of voices with different genders, ages, accents. These skills were underdeveloped.
A good story, suitably distracting but I will avoid this narrator in the future.

Oh my goodness - this narrator!
I appreciate that this far into the series it would be difficult to change to another narrator- but where is the quality control over the most basic of pronunciation - very annoying!! If I were Joy Ellis I would be furious.

Great series - awful narrator
Having listened to the Jackman series where Nikki has a cameo role, I looked forward to listening to a series from her side of things.
I haven't been disappointed as far as the stories are concerned, but the narration is awful. The vocal range is extremely limited and - for a professional narrator - the pronunciation is shameful. I also wonder why there wasn't some agreement between narrators to make Rory Wilkinson from the same region. He's a far better character as a camp Scotsman than whatever it is Henrietta Miere is trying to do.

Good story but irritating narration
I stuck with this book for the good storyline in spite of the irritating narration. The first time I heard the word “Curate”, pronounced “Cur-eight” by the Narrator, I was mildly irritated. Unfortunately, this character appears throughout the book ( not a spoiler), so my level of irritation rose considerably.
Does no one edit these recordings?

Gripping story let down by the narrator
The narrator is poor. Her pronunciation of words and abbreviations is ridiculous.
Her voicing of characters is indistinct. If Richard Armitage did these stories they would be much better.

Development of story and lack of predictability
Softening of Nikki's persona as she regains perspective on life outside of work. The female veterans are refreshingly strong characters.

Fast paced but not as good as others in series
I have enjoyed this series but think this story is weaker. The motive for the crime is rather lacking and there were not the usual twists and turns. It didn’t explore the perpetrator and where they’d been either or other family members.
