Resumen del Editor

Detective Joseph Easter's daughter discovers a cottage hidden in some trees on a large fenland farm. Someone has been living there.

The farm owner's wife has been receiving sinister pagan artifacts, including a witch's knife. Are they some sort of warning or message?

Joseph and his daughter search the cottage and find an old satchel. Inside are photos of a beautiful girl, Jennifer Cowley. She went missing 15 years ago. She'd been stalked by a young man, who was convicted of her murder, even though her body was never found.

When DI Nikki Galena examines the cottage, she finds something far worse.

And in the satchel is a more recent photo of a girl who looks just like Jennifer.

The man who killed Jennifer is recently out of prison. Has he struck again?

At the same time, DC Cat Cullen and Dave Harris are trying to get evidence against a man who preys on widowed older women. Vernon Deacon is seemingly a pillar of society, with very influential friends. But his victims aren't believed, so their job is not easy.

Good action, interesting storyline but..

I enjoyed this book very much, it was full of twists and odd characters with dark hidden secrets. It kept my interest right through to the end. I haven't found a Fens book I didn't like. I do have one complaint and it may sound a bit petty to someone else however, The book kept referring to a Atheemee or Aseemee and I was puzzled, it took me a while to figure out that narrator was mispronouncing Athame' and it drove me a bit nuts every time it happened.

Joy Ellis has done it again!

Another well-written book! I was not expecting the ending and was delighted by the twisting plot!

Great story

Enjoying this series and love the characters and locations that take place in the book. Narrator is wonderful to listen to. Brings them all to life.

Excellent!

Another excellent story in the DI Galena series. Seems to be the last available one for now, so that's a shame! I have enjoyed all the books in this series and hope there will be another. This one was really dark and twisted....such sad circumstances. I'm definitely not cut out to do DI Galena's job!

Love the characters!

I didn’t think I’d like anything as much as Duncan and Jenna but I do love Nikki and Joseph! Jackman is just as likeable!

Best DI Galena book yet!

We’ve heard all the Nikki Galena books in sequence and have like this one the most yet. As always Joy Ellis kept us guessing until the very end. Highly recommend.

Another good listen

If you have listened to other books in this series, it is very similar in story and performance. Although it was somewhat predictable at times, it was still very entertaining.

Best in the series

So many twists and turns. very fun very good story; One of the best. Enjoyed it.

Lots of twists

The story was not at all predictable! The only problem was that there did not seem to be the same sense of urgency about finding the missing girl once it was thought that she might still be alive! That was a faux pas. Otherwise you were kept guessing until the end. Great story!

Good story, but…

Good twists and turns, but I also HATED when they mispronounced “athame’. It drove me nuts. I found myself saying it out loud correctly every time the word was used. Other than that, I really enjoyed the story.
