So many Characters

First of all I really like the narrators voice however at times she speaks so fast that it is hard to understand. I feel like she is speed reading and with so many characters I tend to just space out. Sadly it does ruin the storyline. I felt like it was a race to the end. So many names I stopped even trying to figure out who they all were.

Superb in all respects

Great story line and wonderful character development. Books are self contained but added level of enjoyment if read or listened to in the 'proper' order. The narrator does a top notch job and gives an added level of enjoyment to the whole experience. I have the first 4 in the series and wish the next 2 were also on audible.

This is a good one.

This one was really good. The tough grit and grim of the first in the series remains but this time includes palpable altruism and warmth between characters. I find Ellis's writing to be good but it's hard to listen to a whole book of unrelenting awfulness . . . why I tiptoe gambled on this 3rd in the series, giving her one last chance - cuz I like the fens and the plots. Glad I did.

I like the story.

I have been listening to this series that for about the last month. They are good stories that keeps your interest and keeps you guessing the outcome. "AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY”

Best so far!

I’ve enjoyed getting to know these characters. This series is definitely one to read in order. I lucked out and got the entire series as a deal with each book costing less than $3 except one that I bought for full price. This book had just the right amount of suspense and a great twist as well.

Enjoyed

Great series, enjoy listening about the fans and what Nicki and Joseph get up too!

Excellent series

Good stories, good characters, inventive subplots. I’m really enjoying this series. Reliable fun. That’s all.

Best novel yet in a great British detective series

For me the Detective Inspector Nikki Galena series has become addictive. This is the 3rd novel in the series and there are two more not yet available in audio format. The novels in the series are first rate suspense mysteries. Protagonist Nikki Galena is a very strong leader who inspires confidence in her team. Narrator Henrietta Meire takes some getting accustomed to because of her unusual British accent, but her performance is stellar.

A Page Turner

This is the third book of the series. In what starts out as a classic mystery case, a dead woman is found in an impregnable locked room. Then the story takes a twist and someone is out to destroy Nikki and her team. Her team consists of Joseph, Cat, David and the boss is Inspector Bainbridge. Nikki’s daughter, Hannah, has just died and Joseph’s daughter is tricked into showing up and is put into danger. It appears the enemy knows about each of their lives and how to hurt them the most. Just as I thought I had the case solved, the author makes an abrupt change and I am sent off in another direction. Needless to say, the ending is a surprise.

The book is full of suspense, intrigue and enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. The characters are interesting and Ellis continues to develop them in each book. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series.

The book is nine hours long. Henrietta Meire does an excellent job narrating the series.
