Story
When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

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.
