Summary

When everyone is sleeping, he comes into their houses. 

He takes one thing. A photo of their child. 

A sinister thief on a power trip or something even darker and more sinister? 

Detectives Jackman and Evans find themselves on the hunt for a highly unusual burglar who seemingly only steals photographs. But then, late one night, an elderly woman falls to her death after seeing someone in her home. 

Did she really fall, or was she murdered? 

And just how many mysterious intruders are there on the Fens? 

With the body count rising, Jackman and Evans have their work cut out for them to track down the night thief - before it’s too late.

Well Done Joy Ellis

I love all of Joy’s books, this is no exception. Excellent story line that twists and turns to the last page. Richard Armitage is my favourite narrator, I will buy any book he records.
I regularly re-read Joy’s books and particularly enjoy this series.

Another brilliant book from Joy Ellis

Where would readers/listeners of good and enjoyable crime thrillers? It is great to catch up with Jackman and the other characters as another unusual crime is solved. sadly I now have to wait till the next book in the series to be written and published. I will probably re-read the series again in a few months.

Even husband listened

I started it, but even my husband (who is definitely not a bookworm) got sucked in too and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Certain things lead to clues for the end few chapters but they weren't overly obvious. Loved it.

Brilliant series

I have enjoyed listening to every single book in this series. The characters setting and storyline have been excellent from start to finish. I have bing listened to them! I cannot believe that this series was free too! The narration was top quality. Thank you Audible, well worth the membership.

Just brilliant!

Every time I listen a Joy Ellis book I think it’s the best she’s written! Love the characters and Richard Armitage is just the best narrator, bringing each character to life. Thank you for making all my chores that much easier!

Good Story

Enjoyable episode from this crime team. The ending is a little tame but I will happily listen to more from this series.

The night thief

There isn’t a thing I disliked about this story! Every small twist and turn, the narrator bringing every chapter to life! Everything about the book was brilliant and will certainly be worth a second listen.
