About this listen

From two-million-selling author Joy Ellis comes one of the most keenly anticipated mysteries this year.

It arrives in the morning. An old-fashioned airmail envelope addressed to Detective Nikki Galena. Inside, on a single sheet of blue airmail paper, are three words: You failed me.

The second airmail envelope arrives at Nikki's home address. The same message. Only this time, it's followed by four names: Alexandra Cornfield, Ruth Baker, Bethany Lyons, Leanne Delaney.

Four missing women. Four local women whose bodies were never found.

The contents of the third letter, delivered by motorcycle courier, are even more disturbing.

The letter leads directly to the discovery of a body buried in a shallow grave out on the Fens. And Nikki and her partner Detective Joseph Easter are plunged into a baffling murder investigation.

Someone appears to be pursuing a personal vendetta against Nikki—and she has no idea who, or why. But one thing she does know: whoever it is is playing a very twisted game—and if Nikki and her team don't stop them, more deaths will follow.

Love the series of these books but the narration drives me crazy, maybe I have been spoilt listening to Richard A narrating the Jackman series.

Good story

This was well worth the wait. This was book 14 in the series and it did not disappoint. This was a tough investigation for Nikki, Joseph and the team. Again they shown a great ability to work well together and work out the leads. The book was full of twists that made it action packed. I hope there will be more as this is a gripping series.

Gripping and full of twists.

I have listened to all 14 books so far and am now missing all of the characters - fingers crossed for a book 15 - excellent narration as always.

Another excellent book.

I’ve given 5 stars because I love Joy Ellis and all the books in this series as well as the Jackman and evans series. I think this was my least favourite so far though. They basically just followed a man round who did all the work and then he wasn’t really a threat by the end, it felt lacking the usually twists and turns and a bit anticlimactic. Usually there are so many things happening and all tie up which I didn’t see coming. I also felt that there wasn’t much moving forward for Nikki and Joseph since they got together and moved in, they’re just stuck. I’m hoping the next book has then finding a way to get married.
