Cliffhanger ending

Complicated and twisty plots. Characters are rounding out, plot thickened. i enjoy the relationships among the characters, which gets the reader through Dark storylines.

Another Amazing Thriller

Joy Ellis continues to take her readers/listeners on many twists and turns. I listened to this book on Audible in two days and couldn’t put it aside. An excellent book, as expect from the phenomenal Joy Ellis.

Richard Armathist again does an outstanding narration for the book. His ability to bring the characters to live as they are written.is amazing.

I recommend this book to fans of Thrillers. Ellis brings her books to life with many twists. The characters have depth and vulnerability. An excellent book.

This was a good one

Another great mystery. I figured out what was going on, and then second guessed myself. This was an emotional one. As always, the narration was spot on, in terms or voices etc. My only issue was that there wasn't enough spacing between POV changes this time.

Attention Grabbing Series

I love the books in this series by Ellis. Cannot believe I scored them as freebies. Not usually my kind of books but have been totally engaged in them and will now look for more books by this author. Performances in all I’ve read thus far was also great!! Thank you Audible!!

Good

Although I didn't find the main story to be as interesting as previous Jackman and Evans novels it was still well plotted and excellently performed by Richard Armitage.
