About this listen
One terrible case always haunted detective Matt Ballard. Now many years later, the killer seems to be back. And this time he's after Matt.
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.
Then another murder happens, with some of the hallmarks of the old case. Has the killer returned, or is this just a sick copycat determined to ruin Matt's life and reputation?

Good story, less good reading.
Unfortunately , I did find the reading style off-putting: sounded rather like my Sat nav.

Brilliant
It's not often that a book keeps you guessing until the very last two chapters, but this one did. I won't spoil it further lest to say- buy and listen asap!

Terrible narration
I have listened to a lot of Joy Ellis’ books and enjoyed them a lot. I was so disappointed with this book. It’s really difficult to disassociate the book from the narration but I have given the story 3 stars even though it was entirely ruined by the narrator. Unfortunately Antony’s narration has all the skill and interest of Siri or Alexa. He sounds stilted and the pros are uncomfortably forced. He sounds like someone reading aloud at a school assembly. I will avoid all books narrated by him in the future.

Great twists and turns
Loved the book but really struggled with the narrator’s almost robotic voice. It took several attempts to get used to his Google Translate flat style of narration.

a good read
I really like Joy Ellis and this was a good read, with a twist at the end. However, in the end I had to read it rather than listen to it - as I found the narrator's voice just too harsh.

Narration was poor
Storyline was ok but I struggled to get into it. The narrator voice did not fit the dialogue.
