Summary

From two-million-selling author Joy Ellis comes one of the most highly anticipated mysteries this year.

Now.

In the beautiful gardens of Shelley House a shocking discovery is made. A blackened hand dangles over the side of a wheelbarrow. The horrific scent of burnt flesh lingers in the air.

Detectives Nikki Galena and Joseph Easter are called in to investigate.

Twenty years ago.

A family destroyed by tragic secrets. The scientist father who killed their gardener, before being murdered himself. The brother who disappeared, never to be seen again.

Until now?

Nikki and Joseph must find a man who's been missing for two decades and unravel the painful past of a broken family before anyone else dies.

An interesting twist in the tale!

Yet another compelling book from Joy Ellis. The narrator was excellent, with good characterisations.
Loved it!

Easy enough to listen to

Bit of a safe book. I really enjoy this series but still do not like the narration! Henrietta is just so boring, gets the pronunciations wrong, terrible at accents but I love the stories so gave to put up with it!

Well worth a listen!

Haven't listened to this series in some time but do like the characters and narration so thought I'd give it a go. Foundcthis story fascinating. Well constructed narrative, as always, kept my interest. Not quite gripping, but certainly enjoyable.

Another cracking story

Joy Ellis does it again. A very unusual story line, a little disturbing in places, plenty of twists and turns 👍🏻
Keep them coming Joy 🤩

What a surprise

I didn’t expect this to be such a pleasant experience but one should not follow any reviews. I understand this is not to everybody’s liking but this is the case with many books. For some they are alien and for others they are like a nice fitting slipper. I found it quite interesting as where I live many folks still have a strong belief in the fairy world at least enough not to want to upset them. And many children confronted with a rough reality will build their own fantasy world and many adults have a fantasy world of their own. It kept this book interesting in a different way than the previous ones and it also let me wonder where the next one will go. A bit more unpredictable than before for sure .
