Cliche ridden writing
The story was well conceived but it was poorly written. Full of cliches with very derivative characters.
I usually enjoy the narration but this narration was awful - dreadful attempts at accents that made listening to the story very hard. It was difficult to discern who was speaking at times as the accents changed within characters. Dreadful.

ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS NARRATION!!!
However Henrietta Miere came to be chosen to narrate this book and the others in this series I have no idea. If I was Joy Ellis I would be incandescent with rage at having my characters turned into two dimensional caricatures with a leaning towards Second World War RAF pilot accents in a high, squeaky voice! Sacrilege! I can well see how they turned to a fine narrator like Richard Armitage to read the Jackman and Evans series of Joy’s books.
Henrietta Miere has absolutely no idea of how to do an accent or put across a personality, with the only possible exception being Nikki herself. Like others I generally enjoy the plots of Joy Ellis’ books but I weep for the author having them totally destroyed and rendered unreadable by this ear grinding, squeaky, shrill and utterly appalling narration. Oh, and by he way, did Henrietta Miere have a plane to catch after reading each book? Certainly sounds like it.
I wish Audible could re-run the series choosing another far superior narrator.

I enjoyed reading this series so decided to try on audible - big mistake. The narrator is appalling. Speaks too fast, accents are awful. I listened to the book only because I'd paid for it. I'm not trying any more of this series on audible until there is a different narrator.

good storyline
Book 4 in the DI Nikki Galena series follows on from the last story. Nikki and her Sargent, Joseph Easter, are faced with mysterious lights on the Fens and a strange morbid discovery in an underground facility that was once a war time air force base.
Alongside this, Easters estranged daughter has come on a visit and becomes embroiled in a dangerous situation.
The narration is very fast. It is slightly better when listened to at 90% speed on my phone, but still needs addressing.

Diabolical narrator
I'm sure the story is good, but the narrator was so bad it was impossible to take the story seriously. The high-speed narration of awful accents, including a comical Scottish accent, was off-putting and I had to give up before the end of chapter two. I'm certain a decent narrator would boost the ratings for this novel.

I enjoyed the story - this is the fourth in the series but I really find the narrator speaks too fast (I’ve slowed it to 0.8 or normal speed so I can actually follow it) her accents are strange and frankly irritating at times . Taking a break from this series now as I can’t listen to Ms Meier any longer.

<br />This is how much I have enjoyed this series.
I am usually extremely tough on narrators who mispronounce words, and editors who let them slide. It's not the kindest part of my nature. But when Nikki said that one of her fellow characters was an "aficiando" of history, for me, that malaprop was Nikki's, not Ms. Meire's, and I had a nice chuckle. That's how real the characters came to be for me, in Ms. Meire's versatile voice.
The plots in these books are unique, and involving, but it's my involvement with great characters that keeps me coming back every time.

Another good mystery with Galena & Easter
DI Nikki Galena's father has died, leaving behind a mystery. His last request to her was to "Find Eve."
Nikki has no idea who Eve is.
Yet when she should be dealing with her father's death, and deciding what to do about the mysterious Eve, she has mysteries to deal with at work. A minor-league drug dealer has been fished out of a shaft in the ground at an abandoned World War II airfield, still alive, but only barely. Another drug dealer has simply disappeared, and his sister, with no illusions about her brother but great affection because they survived a difficult childhood together, is determined to find him. The current owner of the airfield is found dead, clearly murdered, but no one knows who wanted him dead.
And Detective Sergeant Joseph Easter's long-estranged daughter Tamsin has come for a visit. They are attempting to mend their relationship.
It seems worth mentioning that all of this turns out to be really small beer beside what they're going to find when they start working these seemingly unrelated cases.
This is, as is typical with Ellis, this is a good, interesting mystery with good, interesting characters. Galena, Easter, and the rest of their team continue to grow and develop, and are well worth spending the time with.
Recommended.
I bought this audiobook.

Drugs, Murder, Mystery and History
Book four in the series finds DI Nikki Galena making funeral arrangements for her father, who has long been suffering from dementia, with just one or two lucid moments over the recent past. One was when he told Nikki to "find Eve". Puzzled by the request, Nikki is determined to sort out who the mysterious Eve is. At the office, a drug dealer's death, after falling down a hole at the old RAF air field has the team looking for answers. DI Galena and her team begin to investigate what at first looks like an accident. All of the major players are here, which I love, and they work together seamlessly to solve the case. Joseph's daughter, Tamsin, is visiting him, and the two of them offer to help Nikki by going through her dad's old papers to find out who Eve is. Soon Sgt. Joseph Easter is back off leave, assisting Nikki and the team with the mystery at the airfield. The history of the RAF was intriguing. The tie-in with Nikki's father and his time in the RAF was brilliant. But I definitely did not see any of the airfield killings or the the history of Nikki's father and Eve coming . . . it was like a ride on a curvy high speed roller coaster . . . in the dark . . . I can't wait for the next book . . .

Another great 'on the Fens' suspense thriller!
The books in this wonderful detective series by British author Joy Ellis are being released in audio monthly. I have listened to the first 4 in order. Ellis is an excellent story teller. Protagonist Detective Inspector Nikki Galena is a complex and fascinating character. In this case I wish I could award award 4.5 stars. Narrator Henrietta Meire is superb.

Good story - so short!
I guess it’s a good thing that this story left me wanting more but, seriously- a 6.5 hour book for full price? And felt obligated to buy it so as not to omit a “chapter” of the series. Yes, I enjoyed, but no, I don’t feel as if I got full value.

We Start and End with Family
Yes, it is a crime story but also a great story about family. From different viewpoints, we see the preciousness of family. Several family dramas have the center of their stories the related crimes at an old WWII airbase. The mix of civil and family history of the region was very interesting. Of course, Joy Ellis description of the people, their pains, and fears is so well done. Depending on your life experiences some may feel closer to home. My father's passing in a hospital is somewhat mirrored in the way Nikki's father died. Sigh..that hurt. The story and the narration are very good.
