Where's the next one?

Reviewed in Australia on 27 March 2018

I find Joy Ellis books very hard to put down. She's a writer who clearly defines her characters, the Fenlands and what is going to happen or has happened.
She never loses sight of the Fens, so you are transported to a very different part of England, one that is wide and open and totally captivating.
Once you have read the first book, and yes, it's best to start at the beginning, you won't be able to stop until you are, like the rest of us, begging for the next one.

Disappointing

Reviewed in Australia on 27 July 2021

I found this book, and to a lesser extent the previous one, to be a less than satisfactory read, which felt as though it had been written by a computer, or by a ghost writer copy pasting from earlier books. The language was strange and the phrasing repetitive, the degree of exposition made the whole thing seem amateurish. I had been on a roll, but I won’t be reading any more of these.

Not a book you can put down and return to next day with the complexity of the story. The story begins with unusual deaths and then continues to analyse these by various detectives, a psychologist, a forensic team and computer experts. I did find there was so many characters involved that after a while I had a page full of names to remember and there part played in this story which was a bit off putting. The twisted desire of the serial killer kept everyone on their toes almost taunting them with the occasional paragraph his victims had in their procession. Without telling the story he turns out to be a master manipulator of people with devious intent which he has planned for a long time. The story is very interesting but overloaded with people.

Extremely enjoyable

I enjoyed this book very much. Sometimes a little stretch of the imagination for search results to be so easily obtained but still a very good read.....just ignore the parts that sort of make you shake your head. It is just a story after all, and if we don’t have these little pieces of far fetched results, and a team that just “knows” intuitively what each are thinking and can work seamlessly together then there is no story.

Very readable, and I will look forward to more.

Hard to put down

Another cracking read from Joy Ellis. The fourth in the Jackman / Evans series, this one runs close to home for Jackman when his sister-in-law disappears and then throws herself into a river in London. This is an engaging read, with enough twists and turns to make it hard to put down. As always, I appreciated the sense of camaraderie Joy Ellis creates between her characters and the 'solving' of a case through team work, rather than the single brilliant mind kind of approach.

Another intriguing suspenseful finish

Great read difficult to put down. Enjoyed the build up towards the end when all was revealed. The impact on force's stress levels and how they individually and collectively dealt with same added to the reader's appreciation of the characters being "real." When do they go on holidays?!

This author is excellent and I enjoy all of the books so far and would recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasurable read that's hard to put down.
I'm hooked on this author and will look for any other books that have been preciously written.

What a magnetic Author! What a teacher of values! In these "Covid times" the true value of literature is realised... so get into reading this mind-blower and forget, for a time...
