Two for Joy

By: Sarah A. Denzil

Narrated by: Jasmine Blackborow

The electrifying sequel to One for Sorrow, by the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Silent Child.

Leah Smith has a new name, a new job and a new home. The sleepy seaside town, Clifton-on-Sea, is a refreshing change from the gloomy moors of Yorkshire. She couldn’t be farther away from her serial killer stalker.

Or so she thinks....

A new name isn’t enough to make her forget her past. Leah must come to terms with the events that occurred at Crowmont Hospital, especially when police discover the mutilated body of a young woman. Leah and Tom struggle with the consequences of their actions on the moors and how they may have led to murder.

While a serial killer is on the loose, Leah throws herself into solving a different puzzle. She meets George, an elderly local man who suffered a heartbreaking childhood. In 1944, when George was just 10 years old, his mother perished in a fire at the family home. His sister, Abigail, went missing during the fire, presumed dead. Abigail’s body was never recovered from the ashes.

Twenty years later, George received a photograph of a young woman bearing a striking resemblance to his sister, Abigail. Perhaps she didn’t die after all.

George is not a well man, and time is running out to uncover what happened to little Abigail. Leah is drawn into the mystery, keen for any distraction from her own troubles. With assistance from George’s grandson, Mark, she vows to help. But even as she immerses herself in George’s tragic past, she can never escape the one name that haunts her nightmares: Isabel Fielding....

twisted

I figured it out before the end, but it was good. twisted, but good.

Two for joy

Not as good as the first one but looking forward to the third. Still
l have faith as enjoy this author writing. characters and the narration

Great story

I’m really enjoying this audio series. Book 2 was just as good as book 1. Can’t wait to get book 3

Gut wrenching emotion

Okay this exceeded my expectations. The story took such unexpected twists with Tom and I was so drawn in. He was both intriguing and just frustrating… but then the end. Oh I cannot wait for the last book.

On the run

Protected but not safe. This is how Leah and Tom felt when placed in the witness protection program and given new names. They no longer felt safe from Isabel even after moving away. They had to live like ghosts living outside the lines of society forced to live constantly on the move.

Narrator:
Jasmine Blackbarrow narrated Two for Joy. Her performance was stunning. I give her a standing ovation. The sound quality and tone was ideal. She really brought this story to life. The British accent was spot on.

Overall :
I liked how Leah and Tom behaved suspiciously lending towards a more exciting possibility.
The distraction that was created for Leah’s character was clever and interesting. Although I was a tad disappointed how much time was spent addressing this other plot. I wanted something more substantial from Isabel’s character and her hunt to find Leah. It felt a little anticlimactic with how it was resolved and concluded between Leah and Isabel.
It was still an exciting read especially with Isabel’s point of view.
