Resumen del Editor

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.

Excellent series or stand alone!

I love the Fens series, I can’t put them down. I am on the series number 13 and I have ordered them Nonstop one after another.

Truly enjoyed it as always

I’ve read all in this series. I truly love the plot’s and characters Joy Ellis writes.

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

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!

Secrets on the Fens

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.

Riveting and exciting

The book was another great adventure on the Fens. Nikki and Joseph are in the fight of their lives when children go missing. An absolute wonderful story

Narrator is phenomenal!

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!

Joy Ellis back on track

Great to get back to familiar characters and a good story. Some of the narrator’s pronunciation irritates but overall well done.

💕💕💕

I absolutely love this series by Joy Ellis.
The twists and turns are intricately woven into the story that keep you guessing almost to the end of the story. The narrator adds personality to the characters- I like it when the narrator remains the same throughout the series.
I have a vision in my head of how the characters look based on the combination of the author’s words and the narrator’s presentation 🙌🏼
I hope there are more books added to this series!

Always enjoyable!

Love when Nikki and Jackman are mentioned in each other’s series! Waiting for the next Jackman and Evans novel … ! This was a good story, not as fast paced and intense as some of the earlier ones in the Nikki Galena series, but I still enjoyed it.

Holds your interest with red herrings

A bit preachy with references to unusual physical and mental conditions. Now a hallmark of Brit lit and TV it seems.
