Hidden on the Fens

DI Nikki Galena Series 11

By: Joy Ellis

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Detective Joseph Easter's daughter discovers a cottage hidden in some trees on a large fenland farm. Someone has been living there.

The farm owner's wife has been receiving sinister pagan artifacts, including a witch's knife. Are they some sort of warning or message?

Joseph and his daughter search the cottage and find an old satchel. Inside are photos of a beautiful girl, Jennifer Cowley. She went missing 15 years ago. She'd been stalked by a young man, who was convicted of her murder, even though her body was never found.

When DI Nikki Galena examines the cottage, she finds something far worse.

And in the satchel is a more recent photo of a girl who looks just like Jennifer.

The man who killed Jennifer is recently out of prison. Has he struck again?

At the same time, DC Cat Cullen and Dave Harris are trying to get evidence against a man who preys on widowed older women. Vernon Deacon is seemingly a pillar of society, with very influential friends. But his victims aren't believed, so their job is not easy.

Best of the Fens series

I have read all of the earlier books on the Fens. This was the best book of the whole Fens series!

Enjoyed

I enjoyed this book. I love the characters and the author’s ability to come up with unusual stories. On to the next one…

Always a great mystery

I thought I had untangled this one and knew whodunit but ms Ellis had other ideas lol. I only figured out one small part that turned out to be so much more involved than I could’ve contrived. I always enjoy reading her books

The storyline keeps me coming back for more

Excellent detail, serious cases, not your run of the mill. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Best DI Galena book yet!

We’ve heard all the Nikki Galena books in sequence and have like this one the most yet. As always Joy Ellis kept us guessing until the very end. Highly recommend.
