Graves on the Fens

DI Nikki Galena, Book 14

De: Joy Ellis

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

Duración: 10 h y 50 m

Resumen del Editor

From two-million-selling author Joy Ellis comes one of the most keenly anticipated mysteries this year.

It arrives in the morning. An old-fashioned airmail envelope addressed to Detective Nikki Galena. Inside, on a single sheet of blue airmail paper, are three words: You failed me.

The second airmail envelope arrives at Nikki's home address. The same message. Only this time, it's followed by four names: Alexandra Cornfield, Ruth Baker, Bethany Lyons, Leanne Delaney.

Four missing women. Four local women whose bodies were never found.

The contents of the third letter, delivered by motorcycle courier, are even more disturbing.

The letter leads directly to the discovery of a body buried in a shallow grave out on the Fens. And Nikki and her partner Detective Joseph Easter are plunged into a baffling murder investigation.

Someone appears to be pursuing a personal vendetta against Nikki—and she has no idea who, or why. But one thing she does know: whoever it is is playing a very twisted game—and if Nikki and her team don't stop them, more deaths will follow.

Great story

As usual, a winner from Joy Ellis. Her Nikki Galena books are my favorites of hers. It was good to have Matt Ballard play a part in this case. And there was even a Jackman mention.

The team is great. This puzzle of a case stretched them all to solve it. Good teamwork.

Excellent narration by Henrietta Meire as we have come to expect.

Now I wonder what will be next in the lives of Nikki and Joseph.

A great series

I really enjoyed this entire series. The stories were engaging, and I appreciated the strong female characters. Although each book had a similar structure, each one was unique enough to hold my interest.

Superb and intricate

The science underlying one aspect of this novel is fascinating in and of itself. It was a great choice to explore the ramifications of this emerging understanding within a traditional rural community. (I’m trying to not give too much away here!)

While some of the details of police procedures in the novel became a bit hard to swallow, the psychology and character-driven storytelling made up for that.

This is one of the most intricate of Joy Ellis’ plots, and she held onto all of the threads. The emotional ending felt natural and right.

My only quibble is that the guilty party didn’t actually appear until the 3rd act, and there was no way to guess who they were prior to that. There simply wasn’t any information or foreshadowing that would have enabled any reader to make that identification.

Twists and Turns

A couple of well placed twists and turns to the story and it keeps you guessing. Separate stories tangled together helps move the plot in unexpected directions. I LOVE this series and even when I guess an ending there are still plot lines to be revealed. Definitely a fan.

Loved all 14 of them!

Terrific variety of believable characters, back stories and side stories that all tie in, plot twists galore, and unexpected outcomes. Excellent narration with perfect pitch and emotion. Will there be numbers 15+??

Joy Ellis continues to e one of my favourite reads

I love Joy Ellis and this latest novel was as good as ever. Having lived in Lincolnshire and my mum being a yellow belly the books fondly remind me of my home and family too. Always a good read. Keep them coming!

Loved it!

I was so excited when I heard another book in this series had been released! I’m a little sad I’m through it already. Love the characters and loved the story line! Look forward to the next one.

Loved the whole series

I really enjoyed the whole Nikki Galena series. Hopefully there will be additional books. I enjoyed that I didn't see coming some of the endings and the twists and turns some stories took. I liked the parallel mysteries of Nikki's and Eve's.

getting comfortable with the characters

I really like this series of books with Nicki Galena. I'm sad this is.the last one. loved them all.

Bravo!!!!

Absolutely fabulous! This book did not disappoint! All the mysteries intertwining is fabulous and keeps you guessing. The characters are deep and easy to love and the plot is spectacular! I want more!! One of my all time favorite authors!! Thank you so much!
