About this listen

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

One moonlit night, the bodies of two young people are discovered lying entwined on a blanket in the woods. The young man is clutching a red rose. It appears to be a lovers' suicide pact....

Until Detective Nikki Galena and DS Joseph Easter look more closely. Romeo and Juliet, as they decide to call them, were murdered somewhere else and brought to the woods. But why?

Then another young couple are found dead, again beautifully posed as lovers. And Nikki knows they have a twisted serial killer on their hands. Who are the next victims?

Everyone has secrets. But some people will kill to keep them.

The literary references to bodies being found in the beginning of the novel really captured my interest. I was disappointed that aspect of the book wasn't developed further. I like this series and look forward to the new characters that are introduced in each book.. I hope Nikki's mother, Eve, continues to be in the spotlight.

This intricate plot was one of my favorite story lines in this series. This novel also had a very strong message about homosexuality and religious fanaticism.

Wonderful plot

Others have complained about the narrator's pronunciation, and I have noticed that she mispronounces some words. I think that can be forgiven for three reasons. 1) she may have never encountered these words in a setting where she is both hearing them pronounced and seeing them spelled, as it's uncommon words that she usually mispronounces. 2) she is British and many listeners are American, so we yanks may not know how the words are pronounced in Britain, yet the narrator is, in fact, pronouncing them correctly. and 3) her range of voices is so vast that the few mispronounced words are easy to forgive. She is an incredible narrator, in my opinion better than Richard Armitage in the DI Jackman series, so it is easy to forgive a momentary mispronunciation when 99.9% of the book is narrated flawlessly and as if it were an ensemble cast. Also, someone said she has an annoying lisp, but I've listened to a dozen books of hers and I've never noticed any lisp or mouth noises, and I am incredibly sensitive to any kind of mouth noise. I think, given this isn't a common complaint and one I don't have myself, it could've been a stereo issue, something to do with the speakers that person had.

I love Joy Ellis, and this book was great, though I do think her story lines are becoming a bit predictable. Not surprising given the speed with which she pumps out books, but they are entertaining and engrossing nonetheless. I'll continue listening to every book she releases, especially if they are narrated by Henrietta Meire!

Narrator is phenomenal!

I enjoyed this story— just like all the others in the Nikki Galena series! I read one review that said it wasn’t up to par, but I’d have to disagree. If you like this series, you will like this one, too!

Loved this story as much as the others in the series!

When Audible offered 85% off all titles I purchased all of Joy Ellis’s books that I didn’t have. I feel as though I know her characters, her plots are multifaceted, and the suspense lasts to the end.
