Summary
The newly-discovered novel from multi-million-selling author Joy Ellis. Never before published!
Flower shop owner Ellie McEwan is driving home late one frosty November night when a shadowy figure leaps into the road out of nowhere. Ellie swerves to avoid him — and slams head-on into the crash barrier.
Days later, Ellie wakes up in hospital — and notices there’s something different. Everyone she looks at — the doctor, the nurse, her friend Carole — is surrounded by a coloured aura. Her near-death experience seems to have given her a new ability.
And now Ellie must use her new-found gift to catch a killer.
The battered body of a young woman is found in the grounds of a local hotel. She’s the third woman to be murdered in this sleepy Surrey village, her hands crushed and mutilated. Just like the other two.
Each of the women was a skilled professional — a musician, a doctor and an artist. Apart from that, they appear to have nothing in common.
And now the police’s one lead — a key witness — is missing.
Although sceptical, a desperate DCI Bob Foreman calls on Ellie for help. But Ellie’s involvement in the investigation will throw her into the path of a brutal killer . . .
DISCOVER A TOTALLY ENTHRALLING MYSTERY.
This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths, Susan Hill, Kate Ellis or Ann Cleeves.

unique
loved this, story was really unusual but plausible. narration was great, loved the characters. although Ellie is just super sickly sweet nice and conducts herself perfectly at all times, which makes for a heartwarming story but was a bit much at times. overall absolutely loved it

Characterisations
I simply loved this book, and couldn’t wait to listen to more. It was compulsive listening made even more special by Ms. Rundle’s narration. I understand this was a ‘first novel’; please may we hear more of Ellie?

Loved it!
I am a fan of Joy's police procedural series, loving the characters and the settings particularly. This, her first novel, intrigued me as it had an extra dimension of mystery with the main protagonist suffering a brain injury which left her able to see auras around people and finding she can detect physical problems. This leads her to honing her skills and helping the police to solve a series of grisly killings.
I love the hint of the supernatural, and would love to see more in future series.

Brilliant must listen book
Unique premise, characters and suspense. Wish there were more novels to understand the gift and how it could be used.
