Summary
DI Nikki Galena's close friend Helen Brook is involved in a serious accident where she is trapped in a collapsed cellar. After her hard-won recovery, Helen is still getting flashbacks to a man she says was down there with her and who confessed to a murder. But no trace of this man can be found.
Then Helen tells Nikki that someone is watching her. But is all this in her friend's imagination and part of her post-traumatic stress?
And why is Stephen Cox back in town? He's the villain who tore Nikki's life apart and he seems to have returned to wreak more chaos. Before long, the whole town is on the verge of hysteria and her friend's fear will lead Nikki and Joseph on a very dangerous trail.
Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you in suspense until its heart-stopping conclusion.

Appalling narration. Series needs redoing from scratch.
This series of books is excellent but Henrietta Meire’s narration is truly abysmal. I have now listened to the first four books of the series and wonder how she was ever selected. She mispronounces common words, sometimes misses words out altogether and her characterisations are mostly laughable. Read the books but do not bother with the audio versions.

Couldn't stop listening!
Any additional comments?
Even though the narration is poor the story line is excellent. The story deals with current issues in the context of a police drams. I have listened to the previous books and was hoping when this was released it would have a change of narrator. Even so a good listen I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot unexpected ending kept me guessing to the last.

ANOTHER BRILLIANT READ IN THE FENS' SERIES
I cannot praise Joy Ellis's works highly enough. I have listened to the first six with excellent narration by Henrietta Meire. I know Henrietta can falter a little at times but who wouldn't with so many roles to cover. Most importantly I can recognise the main characters immediately. And Joy Ellis brings every "person" straight at you! There is everything in these novels - intrigue, crime, social behaviours, romantic (non-mushy) interludes and gripping thriller moments. I would advise following the series sequentially to really immerse yourself in their worlds that can be black and very bleak at times but always riveting. And the ever-present "will they won't they?" relationship between Nikki and Joe. I'm sure even Joy herself doesn't know the answer!

Joy Ellis magic!
I have thoroughly enjoyed each of the books in this series but sadly found the narrator to be hard work. Although tolerable I doubt that every policewoman speaks in such a high pitched squeaky way, which detracted from the overall story to a degree. Amazingly written these books deserved better.

Great story spoiled by ludicrous narration. Please consider changing narrator. Love the writers work. Thank you Joy Ellis

Gripping story, irritating narration
As with others in this series, the story is brilliantly written, but the narrator's strange, shrill female voices, appalling regional voices and constant mispronounced words is distracting and spoils the experience.

Terrible, terrible narrator,
The narrator reads too quickly, her voice is jarring, I tried to get used to it, but no good.

Couldn't get into it
Let me start by saying, I love Joy Ellis books. The Jackman & Evans series narrated by Richard Armitage are great. I can't get into the Nikki Gelena series purely because of Henrietta Miere who reads them, I find my mind wandering & being irritated by the reading style. Hence I've given up on this series & am going to try the Matt Ballard series.

Good stories, shame about the narration
I've enjoyed this series of books, having listened to the first five so far, but they are let down by the narrator. I don't really know where to start with it. She can't manage any sort of accent at all. Her attempt to voice an Irish character in an earlier book went all over the place but sadly nowhere near Ireland! The female characterisations are really shrill which starts to grate on you after a while and is surprising given that the narrator's voice itself is quite mellow when just reading the non-speaking parts of the narrative. I'm also beginning to wonder if these recordings are edited in any way because the number of everyday words that are pronounced in a truly unique way is frankly astounding. In this book they also confused the names of characters at a couple of points, though I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and put that down to poor editing of the written version. However the stories themselves are very good and up to the standard I've come to expect from Joy Ellis, if you can get past the dubious narration they're definitely worth the effort.

Good character development, strongly plotted.
Narration is distracting and irksome with exaggerated accents, characatures of plummy accents and thick-sounding screeching yokels rather than professional police with regional accents.
