À propos de cet audio
The newly-discovered novel from multi-million-selling author Joy Ellis. Never before published!
Flower shop owner Ellie McEwan is driving home late one frosty November night when a shadowy figure leaps into the road out of nowhere. Ellie swerves to avoid him — and slams head-on into the crash barrier.
Days later, Ellie wakes up in hospital — and notices there’s something different. Everyone she looks at — the doctor, the nurse, her friend Carole — is surrounded by a coloured aura. Her near-death experience seems to have given her a new ability.
And now Ellie must use her new-found gift to catch a killer.
The battered body of a young woman is found in the grounds of a local hotel. She’s the third woman to be murdered in this sleepy Surrey village, her hands crushed and mutilated. Just like the other two.
Each of the women was a skilled professional — a musician, a doctor and an artist. Apart from that, they appear to have nothing in common.
And now the police’s one lead — a key witness — is missing.
Although sceptical, a desperate DCI Bob Foreman calls on Ellie for help. But Ellie’s involvement in the investigation will throw her into the path of a brutal killer . . .
DISCOVER A TOTALLY ENTHRALLING MYSTERY.
This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths, Susan Hill, Kate Ellis or Ann Cleeves.

Spooky stuff doesn't get in the way
I was worried about the supernatural aspects of this story, but there is enough in the characters and the writing strong enough that it all hangs together well enough. It didn't feel forced or over the top.

Fabulous!
I find it hard to believe that this is a first novel, squirrelled away for so long! I loved the idea, the information, the characters, the story line... no wonder the publishedr found nothing upon which to improve. Congratulations to one of my favourite authors on a first novel that I would never have expected. Thanks for resurrecting it, Joy Ellis! and thank you for your continued books... I love them all!

Klunky Supernatural Mystery
Imagine being so prolific a writer that complete novels are sitting in the attic gathering dust (I can totally see lost Jimi Hendrix recordings stored somewhere - the guy was playing around in the studio 24-7, after all - but the existence of forgotten 60,000-word manuscripts is mindblowing). Joy Ellis asserts just that: a pre-debut tale stored on a hard drive somewhere, rediscovered, polished at the request of editors, and published. She must be writing every waking hour of every single day of the week.
To be certain, the book is fairly amateurish (Ellis's teenaged "I'm not sure if this is worthy of submission" instincts were accurate).. but it's not *bad*. There are glimpses of an emerging talent here.
Unfortunately, the mystery/investigation - once it gets going - is sketched out (lacking detail), the paranormal elements are implausible +/- silly (following a reclusive "Psychics Club" of sorts for protagonist 'Ellie McEwan' to join), the characterization is nonsensical (the author introduces - then ignores - an awkward lesbian attraction storyline), and the pacing is subpar (there are looooong stretches of nothing consequential happening). The book is a bit of a messy slog.
On the more positive side, Sophie Rundle does an impressive job reading the work. She occasionally reads with evident disinterest (sighing at times, for example) - but Audible Studios Inc. cast the project with a solidly above-average narrator.
Altogether, 'An Aura Of Mystery' was a reasonable investment of time as an included option.. but unless you're a diehard Ellis fan, this 5.5/10-star audiobook doesn't rate a Credit. If it leaves the 'Plus' catalog, keep browsing.

So glad this was published
The author tells us that this is her first novel that was stashed away for years because there wasn’t really a market for it when she first wrote it. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I’m very happy that she did publish it because I enjoyed it immensely.

Captivating!
I loved this story right from the beginning. It was interesting and captivating from the beginning all the way through to the end. I found it hard to believe that this was her first novel and I’m so glad that I listened to it. The narrator was perfect for the story also.
