About this listen

Detective Nikki Galena's friend and neighbor meets a tragic end, but there's more to his death than meets the eye. And someone terrible from DS Joseph Easter's past is back.

A man is found executed on a piece of wasteland in Greenborough town. The cold-blooded murder triggers terrible memories for DS Joseph Easter. Just when things seemed to be going well for DS Easter, he realizes that the nightmare is coming back, threatening his career, his sanity, and maybe his life. In a breath-taking conclusion, even Nikki begins to doubt DS Easter as he faces a race against time to save someone very close to him.

Critic reviews

"5/5...There just doesn't seem time to catch your breath through this book, there is just something happening all the way through it." ( I Love Reading)
All stars

I liked the story and the characters, my problem is the narrator’s accent and pronunciation. I really cringed at some common words (place names, eg Gallipoli) and several ordinary words being spoken as though by someone reading but who had never heard the word before. Very off putting to a pedant like me. The accent is one I’ve never heard before, and I’ve lived in the East Midlands. Very odd and guttural. Spoiled it a bit for me.

Good story

Decent story, but I had guessed the the outcome way before the end!
Awful narration and Henrietta sounded to upper class to be reading this book.

Enjoyable story!

Another good read from Joy Ellis, I am enjoying the Nicky Galena series. I wasn't sure about the narrator at first but I found her better with the second book.

As ever I really enjoyed Joy Ellis’s writing, however the narrator’s frequent mispronunciation of words has become increasingly annoying. Surely the producers should have noticed? I may continue the series on my Kindle rather than audible as I love the characters.

Great story, unfortunate narration
