About this listen

The newly-discovered novel from multi-million-selling author Joy Ellis. Never before published!

Flower shop owner Ellie McEwan is driving home late one frosty November night when a shadowy figure leaps into the road out of nowhere. Ellie swerves to avoid him — and slams head-on into the crash barrier.

Days later, Ellie wakes up in hospital — and notices there’s something different. Everyone she looks at — the doctor, the nurse, her friend Carole — is surrounded by a coloured aura. Her near-death experience seems to have given her a new ability.

And now Ellie must use her new-found gift to catch a killer.

The battered body of a young woman is found in the grounds of a local hotel. She’s the third woman to be murdered in this sleepy Surrey village, her hands crushed and mutilated. Just like the other two.

Each of the women was a skilled professional — a musician, a doctor and an artist. Apart from that, they appear to have nothing in common.

And now the police’s one lead — a key witness — is missing.

Although sceptical, a desperate DCI Bob Foreman calls on Ellie for help. But Ellie’s involvement in the investigation will throw her into the path of a brutal killer . . .

DISCOVER A TOTALLY ENTHRALLING MYSTERY.

This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths, Susan Hill, Kate Ellis or Ann Cleeves.

Great murder mystery with unusual themes

Fab narrating and a great story of some ‘supernatural’ gifts and how they can be used when in the right hands

Wow!!!

Not the run of the mill story. A really light listen that involved some twists that were very unexpected. The narrator was perfect. I really felt as though I was living this story or at least watching from the garden at the goings on. Felt like a childhood fairytale from someone else's imagination.

Lots of twists and turns….

Full of emotion, good story line right to the end. Made me wonder if Ellie’s story could be really be true.

Wow!! What a tale!!!! 😘

This was an amazing tale which I found impossible to put down. I resented anyone interrupting my listening and when I fell asleep through exhaustion I hastened to get back to where I’d left off! I’ve never listened to this author before but intend to investigate the rest of her books

A little bit different!

Thoroughly enjoyed this gem of a book by Joy Ellis! A different concept from the usual but it certainly worked. I wish there was a follow up book.

Different but a wonderful first novel

I really enjoy both crime and supernatural books so this first book by Joy was great for me. The narration was excellent and the story line interesting and so well written.
