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.

GOOD READ

Predictable easy listen. Narrators voice was a bit screechy at times, but generally enjoyable as usual

Narrator is terrible

The narrator was terrible, some of the voices were so badly portrayed, so droll. Kept thinking I need to stop … Eventually I did! 5hrs left I just couldn’t have that voice in my ears any longer.

Buried on the Fens

I did enjoy this book as much as the rest but agree with other reviewers that at times, particularly toward the end, the names of some of the characters were hard to follow and I had to really think about differentiating them. Some were reasonably similar and not being members of the regular cast it was quite difficult. Great plot and the usual protagonists shone.

Twists and Turns

Another, can’t stop listening, book by Joy Ellis in the DI Nikki Galena & DS Joe Easter series.

Throughout this book you will develop theories only to have them disproven in the next chapter. I enjoy trying to unravel the clues along the way. If you do too, this is the book for you.

I highly recommend this book.

wonderful series

I too am running through these like popcorn. joy ellis keeps coming up with great stories with a good variety of settings and circumstances. I did find the club a bit farfetched and a bit of a time warp- more last century than this but it wasn't a big issue and they probably still exist. Henrietta meirse's narration is now very good and is so much better and natural than the first and second books. Even Rory is heaps better - recognisable and toned down. well done overall and good carry over from book to book

Good story, narrator a bit annoying.

I enjoyed the story but was often distracted by the narrator. The volume of her voice when doing different characters varied significantly, and was often screechy, and I had to adjust the volume often.

Kept me interested until the end

Once again, Joy Ellis has done a brilliant job with this series and you just did not know who the villain was right up until the end. Can’t wait to listen to the next book and the narrator Henrietta does a brilliant job
