And Joy Ellis, the book's author
Joy Ellis started her career as a flower seller in Mayfair in the 1960s, before going on to open her own florist in Surrey. When the recession hit, Joy had a career change and became a bookseller, and attended a writing course in Greece where she was mentored by Sue Townsend. She now lives in the Fens with her partner Jacqueline, where the flatlands and marshes provide inspiration for her eerie plotlines.
Introducing Richard Armitage, our star narrator
Richard is well-known for his array of film, television and theatre work, including The Hobbit, Spooks and The Crucible. His trademark baritone voice has earned him recognition, too, through his performance on many notable audiobooks as well as in TV and radio show narration. This experience shines through in Armitage's gripping performance of the Jackman and Evans series where he plays host to a plethora of characters.
Summary
Introducing Audible Exclusive Their Lost Daughters, the first in the Jackman and Evans crime series, written by Joy Ellis, Audible's breakthrough crime author of 2018.
Deep in the muddy fields of the Lincolnshire Fens, a teenage girl is found wandering, delirious, claiming to have been drugged at a party. Metres away, the drowned body of another girl is found on an isolated beach. And all this on a small stretch of land where, nearly 10 years ago, the shocking disappearance of a young girl remains an open case.
For DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans, the pressure is on to bring the perpetrators of these shocking crimes to justice. Are the crimes linked? Who are these young girls? And what on earth is going on under the green and pastured land of the Lincolnshire Fens?
An Amazon Kindle number one best seller, Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis is performed by the incredible Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) and available exclusively at Audible. Be prepared for your pulse to rise and your nights to be disturbed as our breakthrough crime author of 2018 weaves her dark web of mystery. Perfect for fans of Sarah A. Denzil, LJ Ross and Denzil Meyrick.

Later in life, she began to consider a career change towards crime writing and attended a workshop in Greece led by Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole. Ellis has now left the flowers behind and dedicates her life to writing gritty crime thrillers set in the Fens, where she lives with her police officer partner.

Fantastic read
Loved it from start to finish. The detail was astonishing, you could picture it all in your mind. You can even solve the case, laugh, cry and shout with each of the characters. Richard Armitage was a delight to listen to, all of the various accents were amazing.

I wouldn't normally listen to a book like this...
I wouldn't normally listen to (or read) a title like this, or even pick a book that is being promoted by Audible on the home page (I have a long list of titles in my wish list!), but for some reason I took a punt on this book. It was probably because Richard Armitage was performing it.
Wow, I'm so glad I got this title. What a fantastic story. It was exciting from start to finish and I often found myself extending my drive home just so I could finish a chapter. Crime stories aren't really my thing, but I really enjoyed this title. I thought Armitage did a stellar job of reading it and his voice had me convinced that I was listening to the voices of the characters.
Great title, and if there is a sequel I'll be sure to get it. Oh, and I ever write reviews, but given how much I liked this one I thought I should.

Good crime thriller
Satisfying listen with great description and all ends of multi-thread plot tied off nicely. Beautifully read with variety of accents to bring characters to life. Like watching and episode if silent witness. My only bugbear (as a paediatric forensic medical examiner) is the author perpetuates the myth that you can rule out sexual assault on physical examination. Alive or dead, you can't. The hymen is not the seal on a jar of coffee! Otherwise excellent!
