Publisher's summary

A SERIAL KILLER ON A POISONOUS MISSION PUSHES NIKKI AND HER TEAM TO BREAKING POINT

Revellers are flocking into Greenborough for the yearly Dark Greenborough Festival, a three-day event celebrating local folklore, superstition, and the darker side of life.

What the public doesn't know is that there has been a warning sent to the police, saying that Greenborough will be a very dangerous place this year. The anonymous letter ends with the Latin phrase, Mors certa, hora incerta: Death is certain, the hour uncertain.

DI Nikki Galena and her team soon discover this is no hoax, as people start dying from what appears to be alcoholic poisoning. Things rapidly escalate, and as the deaths get more horrific, Nikki realizes they have a serial killer in their midst.

Another good one!

This is another well written Joy Ellis book! I did have a bit of a hard time keeping all of the characters straight, but eventually figured it out. The mystery continues all the way to the end!

An other great book by Joy Ellis :)

I'm glad I found the books by Joy Ellis! I found her series about Jackman and Evans first. It's still my favorite! I like Jackman and Evans a lot more as persons. It took a lot longer to make me feel like I knew Nikki and Joseph. I still don't really like Nikki even though I like the books.

The first ten books in this series are free on Audible. All 14 books about Nikki are free if you have Kindle unlimited. I really like when I can borrow both the audio book and Kindle book at the same time. Sometimes I read part of the story at other times I just use the Kindle book to look things up. It's nice to be able to search for a person and see what they said or did if I wasn't paying attention to someone who turns out to be important to the story.

Henrietta Meire have read these books on Audible and I think she's done a good job. I haven't been to this part of England so I don't know what accent they really have but she makes the characters come to life.

Somewhat Intriguing Series

One can easily grow to know the characters in this series. At times the details can be somewhat graphic in the investigations and you may find them somewhat bizarre but the interpersonal stories are interesting. if you have these books included in your membership, check them out. I'm not sure I will pay for any addional books in the series.

Another Winner

Performance is GREAT! Storyline has enough complexity to keep interest, and no I do not mind the involvement of the Mom and her friends. It’s a community story and they are part of the community. This book more than the others shows the human side of the officers.

outstanding mystery

Once you get use to her writing voice and word usage, Joy Ellis is a mesmerizing writer. I love how there're so many twists and turns. Also you never can guess who done it until it smacks you in the face in the last couple of chapters!
