Detective Nikki Galena's friend and neighbor 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 realizes 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 love all her series. I love how the characters crossover between series. the one negative is that Joseph is supposed to be this former special services bad ass/gentle giant type, but the narration of the character comes across like a cowering pussy. The voice is very effeminate. For such a central character the narration should fit the character better.

I only have one issue with this series.

This is a great story. Right up there with le Carre. I would give it 6 stars except for the occasionally sappy dialogue during the romantic scenes.

Book 2 did not disappoint. The characters get more developed and relatable. You learn some back history of Nikki and Joe. It was an interesting storyline with someone lurking in the shadows, suicide, and past experiences.

Great Surprise Ending

I have never met a Joy Ellis novel that wasn’t completely satisfying. I know that when I’m just in the mood for a good story, I can always turn to these books.

This second book of the series DI Nikki Galena is better than the first!
The characters are relatable with each having their own quirks!
I love how Nikki and her DS Joseph’s relationship is evolving. Makes me wonder if there will be romance for them later in the series.
Though not a cliffhanger, this book does make you wonder what will happen next.
Once again, the narrator did a beautiful job of bringing out the best in the story.
I was also happy that the language was almost non existent in this book.

Nice plot twist!

Kept me guessing about the criminal until the end. The interactions between all the characters are fluid and believable. The ability to look inside the mind of the characters and their background made the story enjoyable. Joy Ellis at her best. The narration is wonderful.

Shadows Have More to Say

I enjoyed this book but female to male narration was so rough to follow as older men truly sounded like older women. When an audiobook is deep and through provoking with many characters this can cause the ability to follow it harder. I otherwise enjoyed this second boom of the series very much. On to the next.

Really enjoyed this book but female to male narration poor
