Publisher's Summary
Introducing Audible Exclusive Their Lost Daughters, the first in the Jackman and Evans crime series, written by Joy Ellis, Audible's breakthrough crime author of 2018.
Deep in the muddy fields of the Lincolnshire Fens, a teenage girl is found wandering, delirious, claiming to have been drugged at a party. Metres away, the drowned body of another girl is found on an isolated beach. And all this on a small stretch of land where, nearly 10 years ago, the shocking disappearance of a young girl remains an open case.
For DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans, the pressure is on to bring the perpetrators of these shocking crimes to justice. Are the crimes linked? Who are these young girls? And what on earth is going on under the green and pastured land of the Lincolnshire Fens?
An Amazon Kindle number one best seller, Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis is performed by the incredible Richard Armitage (The Hobbit) and available exclusively at Audible. Be prepared for your pulse to rise and your nights to be disturbed as our breakthrough crime author of 2018 weaves her dark web of mystery. Perfect for fans of Sarah A. Denzil, LJ Ross and Denzil Meyrick.
About the author
Joy Ellis is not your ordinary newcomer to crime fiction. She started work in the 1960s as an apprentice florist in Covent Garden before opening her own flower shop in Lincolnshire. Later in life, she began to consider a career change towards crime writing and attended a workshop in Greece led by Sue Townsend, author of Adrian Mole. Ellis has now left the flowers behind and dedicates her life to writing gritty crime thrillers set in the Fens, where she lives with her police officer partner.
About the narrator
Richard Armitage is a British actor known for his vast array of film, television and theatre work, including The Hobbit, Spooks and The Crucible. His trademark baritone voice has earned him recognition, too, through his performance on many notable audiobooks as well as in TV and radio show narration.
His audiobook credits include The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde featured in The Monster Collection, David Copperfield, and Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber, and this experience shines through in Armitage's gripping performance of Their Lost Daughters.
Editorial reviews
"Put your headphones on, turn your Wi-Fi off, clear your diary and take a ride with DI Jackman and DS Evans. As you listen to Their Lost Daughters they will start to feel like old friends, and you will live through their triumphs and traumas on the trail of one of the most wantonly twisted crimes ever to grace an audiobook. The book is harrowing at times but never overdone. It's as heartfelt as it is disturbing. In the run up to the final, brilliantly executed twist, it is almost clinically impossible to press the pause button." - Gabriel, Audible Editor
"Checking my home for intruders isn't one of my standard nighttime rituals, but after listening to Their Lost Daughters, I found myself doing just that. In this chilling narrative, Joy Ellis expertly plays on your deepest fears and delivers a satisfying, shocking twist that no crime aficionado could predict. It bears all the hallmarks of great TV shows like Broadchurch, and with powerful narration from Richard Armitage you genuinely feel part of the action as the hunt to find the killer intensifies. I urge you to experience it in all its glory." - Jess, Audible Editor

Well-performed and an interesting crime story
It was a good story and worth the listen. Some plot holes and issues that I didn't feel were resolved satisfactorily (see below if you don't mind spoilers).
CONTAINS SPOILERS AHEAD!
I liked the narration of this story and in general it was a good tale. However (I may just have missed it?) it didn't seem to address how Shauna Kelly (the first girl missing and then found in the water) died? Did she escape from the torture caravan and run and fall into the water? It seemed like her story was abandoned as soon as the other two girls went missing and they were led to the drinking club story. They didn't return to her at all after the introduction. Also, the other thing I felt was a plot hole/issue was that the Mulberry family idea was introduced so late in the story. The backstory of the siblings and the parents murder/suicide could have been dropped so much earlier e.g. in relation to the places they were searching for the girls. By the time it was dropped in, it was immediately obvious that all the apparently "unconnected" people involved were the Mulberry siblings. However having said that I don't think the actual killer got enough page-time. I get that they were going after Micah as a red herring but by the time the actual killer was revealed it was a bit like "umm... who even is that...?" Kenya Black's story was predictable I thought, but didn't match the MO of the killer - wasn't she a child and the rest of the girls were teens? Why would the killer go for her if she was a small child when the rest of his victims were teens?

Brilliantly read
Richard’s voicing of each character was flawless. More of a non-fiction reader, I was gripped from the first page.

An interesting ride
Good story, well narrated. I enjoy stories where I become invested in the characters and want to know more about them, this was the only part that let this story down. I really enjoyed it and the plot was well thought out and revealed in stages that keep you intrigued but I really didn't care about any of the charterers so I never got fully involved with the story and that is what pushed it over the edge into 5 starts for me.
