KILLER ON THE FENS a gripping crime thriller with a huge twist: 4 (Detective Nikki Galena Mysteries) Paperback – 18 Jun. 2024

This was a intense page turner of a read that continues the work of the Police team and external support . Multi layered with twists and turns and a shock on the last couple of pages.As always great depth of the characters that have become real people as you read through the series. The relationship and bonds developed through the crimes they have faced together. As well as friendships and support away from the job they all have each other's back.Descriptions of the crimes beautifully handled a real sense of what was found in place and time and the tension and stress this crime site caused. Pressure trying to unravel the web of strings to each crime and get to the truth.Very well paced and clearly written which flowed beautifully from chapter to chapter building up the tension and me trying to figure out who did what and why.Within all this the characters have depth, understanding and compassion for their jobs and those around them. A second layer within the story of there relationships and family issues and day to day life just adds to the book but police work and procedure are the main focus but adds balance beautifully.Highly recommend if you enjoy James Oswald, Elly Griffiths and Stephen Booth.On to the next book in the series.

An unusual plot and a good story. As the series continues the back story and the characters improve.

Joy Ellis is an amazing author. Her books are full of drama and action, with plenty of twists and turns to hold the readers interest. I have just read the first four one after the other and now, I can't wait for the next one.

Wow, definitely my favourite of the series so far. From start to finish it kept you gripped wanting to read on. Edge of your seat stuff and always keeping you excited for each chapter!

Following the success of their previous case, Nikki and Joseph are offered promotions, but they decline to prioritise their team dynamics and success.In this instalment, DI Nikki Galena faces a challenging case while grappling with her dying father’s final words, which request that she find Eve. Nikki is perplexed as she doesn’t know anyone named Eve.On top of this, a drug dealer is discovered on a long-abandoned airfield, but the airfield becomes the scene of a shocking revelation. With its numerous dangerous tunnels and exits, some of which fascinate the killer, Nikki and her team must unravel the perplexing and gruesome case of many long years of a killing spree. They stumble upon a collection of embalmed bodies, and the killer continues to add to the pile.While on annual leave, DS Joseph Easter helps Nikki along with his daughter. He investigate who exactly is Eve, he decides to cancel his leave when the case at the airfield escalates. However, his daughter gets into danger, and he realises he needs his special set of special forces skills to save her.What makes this case interesting is that DS Easter has been estranged from his daughter. This is partly due to her pacifist beliefs and his chosen career as a soldier. Ironically, his skills are the only way to save her. Will she survive to appreciate it?

A great read, Ellis really brings her characters to life and the tensions of the jeopardy are palpable

Whilst accepting? that Lincolnshire has more murders per capita than the rest of the country put together and that Nikki Galena deals with more than any other detective in the world, this episode (because that is what each book is) pushes acceptability beyond the limits.I quite like Joy Ellis stories but this is really beyond anyone’s credibility. Time to rein yourself in Ms Ellis (although idiots like me keep buying the books I guess.)
