About this listen
Stella won't give up, but she doesn't know how to go on.
Stella North, a rising star in the police, has her life torn apart by a gunman's bullets. She has often faced danger, but these injuries mean she must give up the job she loves. Her grandmother Beth is her rock. And Beth is no ordinary woman. At 70, she runs marathons and has a past that Stella knows very little about.
Beth calls in her friend, Michael, to help with Stella's recovery. But this man means a lot more to Beth than she reveals. And Stella's ex-husband, Edward, and old police partner, Robbie, want to help, but Stella puts up emotional barriers, and they have problems of their own. Her old friends from her days of Urbex (exploring old abandoned buildings) offer a glimmer of hope for the future.

Off Day
Having now read all of Joy Ellis’s books I wish i had not read this one. Started with potential but then went nowhere. Stella was a pain from start to finish. If she wanted to do a story on what’s next for a damaged ex cop she had the perfect candidates as the next book from the Matthew Ballard series.

Different from this author's crime stories.
A deviation from the usual 'Fen' books but very enjoyable.
I recognise Stella and Robbie from the Jackman series.
I really liked the narrator as well.
Highly recommend if you need a break from crime stories.

Different
This book was totally different to other books by this author. It was an interesting story and loved how characters from different series came to play.
The only down side was how it was narrated. The changes between characters was a bit quick and sometimes confusing
Overall great book.

An introduction to Stella.
I love all Joy Ellis’s books and although there was no actual mystery in this book, the introduction to Robbie’s friend and mentor, and the reason he ended up on Jackman’s team plus the introduction to Stella’s Tom were very enjoyable.
I also appreciated the true love story of older people, being around their age.
A very satisfying take.

Top marks
In my opinion this one is the best of Joy Ellis. Starting your life over is a terrifying thing to have to do.

What a pleasant surprise!
I downloaded this book 5 weeks ago, started it a few times, but at the time I was heavily involved with Joy’s FENS series. As I’d just finished bk12 and had to wait to get bk13 I finally decided to listen 🎧 to this novella. Was an amazing surprise to discover that the story included all the characters of the FENS books 📚 great and small. Awesome 👏.
Give it a read you’ll love it!
SOMEONE PLEASE PUT THIS SERIES ON THE SCREEN!! I wish I could I do it justice I tell ya!

Truth
This story was kept alive by people’s feelings. The writer had a brilliant way of expressing peoples emotions. True to the heart, sad exciting. We should all take note, maybe live every day, to the fullest

Very Enjoyable
Not a normal cops & robbers book by Joy Ellis which I really enjoy but a nice change, also crossing over with some familiar characters added a enjoyable touch 👏
