Marshlight

Detective Matt Ballard, Book 4

De: Joy Ellis

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

Matt and Liz may have retired from the police, but that doesn't mean a quiet life.

An old friend's sister disappears without a trace. There's no sign of foul play, but she'd been acting very peculiarly....

Meanwhile, Liz's cousin, Christie, comes to stay. She takes an immediate - and uncharacteristic - dislike to the local bookshop owner, Gina. Why does everyone put up with her awful behavior?

Hunting will-o'-the-wisps on the marshes can be a very dangerous hobby.

Christie is convinced that Gina is manipulating everyone around her. Is she onto something dangerous or just pushing her new friends away?

No one believes her suspicions until another friend goes missing late at night on the misty Fen marshes.

Can Matt and Liz uncover the truth in time to save lives?

Long story

The story dragged on and on. While the primary mystery was solved, there was little suspense.

Difficult to put down!

Entertaining and enjoyable to listen to! I'm really hoping there's a next book to read or listen to!

Not the best of Joy Ellis

Beginning was good, and although I liked Christi at first, she was just unbelievably stupid. Characters not as well developed as they could have been. And, story a bit slow and simple. Not the best of Joy Ellis - she must have been on a deadline.

Complex thriller

Joy Ellis bring the Fens to life as a true character in its own right in this thriller! Her ability to weave a complex thriller is on display in this tale of manipulation and murder. Excellent audiobook! You won’t want to stop listening to it.

Slow start but worth it in the end!

I love the stories of Joy Ellis. This book, however was really, really slow starting. So slow in fact, about halfway through, I stopped and went to her next book. After finishing that book, I decided to give Marsh Lights another shot. The book finally started to come together and had an exciting ending … in true Joy Ellis fashion.

hhhhmmmmm……

did read the 4 in this Matt Ballard series so far…but, not what I expected from this author…. the story lines and were just not my cup of tea…. found them tedious to read. Will stay with Joy Ellis’s other series of books which I love.

Unusually slow

I finally ended up using this book as a sleeping aid. Towards the end the story picked up, but the characters never really became engaging. I have read everything else by this author. I will still read her next book. This was just the least of her collection of works.

Outstanding book!

The story was amazing, the characters full of life. This a book you will not be able to put down. Again Joy Ellis brings details to life, it is brilliant.

The story is great

I really like this series of stories. I always look forward to the next one in the series. It also has good voice work.

Joy Ellis delivers the goods 1

I like the way. Th characters are introduced but become fast friends. I love the idea of just picking up and buying a new home or moving across country because she “felt like it” she navigates this glowingly.
