Publisher's Summary

A skeleton is found in a shallow grave in the churchyard. But this was not an official burial.

The victim was murdered decades ago. At the same time, Detective Nikki Galena and her team are investigating the brutal slaying of local businesswoman Madeline Prospero. She was a member of an exclusive and secretive drinking club called The Briar Patch. But they've got no suspects and no one is telling them the truth.

Meanwhile, the buried skeleton leads them on a trail to the village of Quintin Eaudyke. This is a troubled place. In the late 70s and 80s a reign of terror and abuse was unleashed on the close-knit population. When more women from The Briar Patch come under threat, Nikki faces a race against time to stop more murders.

Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you in suspense until its heart-stopping conclusion.

Entertaining as usual

Joy Ellis does an excellent job of entwining an interesting investigation with the character's personal and professional lives. One reviewer complained that she was political, which intrigued me when I purchased the audiobook. I am unsure what the reviewer was alluding to as they do not say, I have my suspicions. Joy Ellis's ability to bring real-world challenges to her stories and characters is insightful and humbling.

Voice

My only issue with this whole series. Is the narrators male voice. They ALL sound very tired. Having started another of this authors books first I just wish they had used the same narrator. HOWEVER I am enjoying them. On to the next in the series.

Another great read

Joy Ellis is consistent in her ability to balance character and plot. My only issue was that the ex-wife concern was wrapped up a little too neatly.

Good story

As usual, the plot and narrator were excellent. A lot of characters in this book and I found it sometimes difficult to keep all the threads straight, but otherwise an excellent read.

Brilliant story Galena is perfect for a commute

I'm really enjoying this series despite the laziness of the narrator.
Beyond Henriette Meire's incompetent attempts at Lincolnshire/Fens accents is her inability to read capably - it's FOLIAGE, not FOILAGE.
It's distracting but not to the extent that the brilliant stories in the series are ruined.
