Summary

Matt and Liz may have retired from the police, but that doesn't mean a quiet life.

An old friend's sister disappears without a trace. There's no sign of foul play, but she'd been acting very peculiarly....

Meanwhile, Liz's cousin, Christie, comes to stay. She takes an immediate - and uncharacteristic - dislike to the local bookshop owner, Gina. Why does everyone put up with her awful behavior?

Hunting will-o'-the-wisps on the marshes can be a very dangerous hobby.

Christie is convinced that Gina is manipulating everyone around her. Is she onto something dangerous or just pushing her new friends away?

No one believes her suspicions until another friend goes missing late at night on the misty Fen marshes.

Can Matt and Liz uncover the truth in time to save lives?

At last, a male narrator who doesn't feel the need to over act female characters, instead he reads their dialogue to perfection. No matter how good a narrator is, a male acting out female characters and vice versa can just end up sounding comedic. Jonathan Keeble is an example of a great narrator, who when reading female characters, can sound ridiculous. And so this narrator is a welcome change.
Story is entertaining too!

Excellent narrator in Matthew Lloyd Davies

I love the story line, decriptin is really good but it's a shame that the locals come from the same county as The Archers and they are miles apart. Don't try if it can't be done, just read.

another great story

Not what I expect from Joy Ellis - Matthew Lloyd Davies came across as a good narrator but brought nothing to the storyline. Kind of reminded me of someone reading Enid Blyton. What a shame. Audible addict

I loved the characters....was getting quite animated and wanted to yell at the people, like you would do in a pantomime.

Slightly different to the other books in the series. Most of this story was about Christie. At one point I forgot all about Matt and Liz! Even though it was not so much about Matt & Liz solving their murder and more about
Christie, and Gina’s deadly game she unknowingly became a pawn in, it was an excellent story. I found myself wanting to shout at Tom and Delphine several times for being so blind. It all ties in together by the end, leaving no question’s unanswered. I was totally invested in this story and listened to it much later last night than I should have but it’s worth being tired for the school run this morning. I love all Joys books she has written so far but I think this is my favourite in the Matt Ballard series. Slightly different to the other books in the series. Most of this story was about Christie.

Narrator was good & it was easy to distinguish who was talking with the range of voices, accents and pitches.

Different but excellent
