    About this audiobook

    Detective Nikki Galena's friend and neighbour 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 realises 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.

      I’ve recently discovered Joy Ellis and so glad I have. Her characters are three dimensional, real and the stories like this one are gritty adventures that keep you wanting more.
    • 5/5
      The book was exceedingly well written and incorporated so many twists and turns that I couldn’t believe they would all be resolved, but they were! Amazing!!! More Joy Ellis, please!!!!!

      When a friend and neighbour of Detective Nikki Galena dies she refuses to accept that it is suicide. While researching through death statistics of the area DS Joseph Easter finds an anomaly. He also believes that he is seeing a soldier from his army past. Then the killings start. Who to trust, what to believe.
      I enjoyed this story, and I liked the characters. So I will be looking for more in the series, starting with the first book
    • 4/5

      Det. Sgt. Joseph Easter is recovered from his injuries, returned to duty, and now a permanent part of DI Nikki Galena's team. Unfortunately, his first day back on the job includes the apparent suicide of Nikki's friend and neighbor, and a brief encounter with a man he's sure is a nightmare figure from his past.

      It's not long before bodies start turning up, killed execution-style, and all bearing a strong resemblance to Easter's hated former fellow special forces soldier, Billy Sweet--a man only Joseph says he's seen in the area. There's a serial killer in the area, and the gradually starts to seem that Joseph Easter is either the ultimate target, or something worse.

      Meanwhile, it quickly becomes clear that there's something seriously wrong about the death of Nikki's neighbor Martin's death. It's not just that there's no evident reason for his suicide. He turns out to have been high on a ganger oyster hallucinogen that he had no apparent access to. The cancer clinic that has been monitoring his condition for any return of his cancer for years claims never to have heard of him. And he was, years ago, involved in a clinical trial. Two other members of the trial have also died in strange circumstances.

      Two big, peculiar, dangerous, unrelated cases at the same time. It's so obvious there's no connection between Easter's serial killer and an odd cluster of apparent suicides that no one questions it.

      We see both the newly returned Joseph Easter and the newly somewhat reformed Nikki Galena's under extreme pressure, and newly reconstituted team they lead responding to the pressure along with them. It's an interesting plot, but also good characters continuing to grow and change.

      Recommended.
