Summary
Whisper Fen Holds Dark Secrets
As the mists roll over the fens and enigmatic lights twinkle in the distance, only the locals know their way along the hidden paths through the mysterious watery terrain of one of England's most beautiful and sometimes dangerous places.
Detective Matt Ballard may have retired but there's still plenty going on in the fens to keep him busy.
Someone trashes an old lady's garden and daubs her isolated cottage with hateful graffiti. Emilia Swain seems to be totally harmless, so why is she being targeted?
Matt's best friend Will and his wife Kate moved to Holland House to put their past behind them. But Kate's mental state is deteriorating and she's obsessed with the tragic history of the house and an old doll she finds in the garden.
And why is Kate suddenly friends with a loner who haunts the fens? Has the dreadful past come back to haunt the present owners?
Former detectives Matt and Liz want to help their friends and neighbors. But how can you help people who don't want to be helped?

The performer’s accent work is awful.
The story is good and enjoyable, but the every time the performer has to do an accent it is atrocious! It spoils the book quite a lot, which is a shame as I love Joy Ellis’ work.

Good twisty story
Good character and location descriptions with a story that builds nicely. A little predictable with the final conclusion but well developed plot that gets there.

Another great book
Brilliant as ever & really enjoyed it. The characters new private detective work was a nice change too, with old faces popping in & out of the storyline. Now for the next one which is waiting patiently to be listened to.

Loved it
This is very unlike the James Patterson and Lee Child’s books I normally read or listen to. I am surprised how much I enjoyed listening to every chapter and the twists and turns to the story.

Brilliant!
I love everything that Joy Ellis writes but this book was outstanding! I love anything with a bit of the supernatural thrown in and so loved the spookiness of the story, which gave me goosebumps. This was helped by the vivid descriptions of the Fens. There were twists and turns galore, and a quite unexpected ending. The characters are all fantastic and I love that Joy's books are all set in the same locality, so characters from previous books crop up from time to time.
The book is wonderfully narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies.
