About this listen
Stella won't give up, but she doesn't know how to go on.
Stella North, a rising star in the police, has her life torn apart by a gunman's bullets. She has often faced danger, but these injuries mean she must give up the job she loves. Her grandmother Beth is her rock. And Beth is no ordinary woman. At 70, she runs marathons and has a past that Stella knows very little about.
Beth calls in her friend, Michael, to help with Stella's recovery. But this man means a lot more to Beth than she reveals. And Stella's ex-husband, Edward, and old police partner, Robbie, want to help, but Stella puts up emotional barriers, and they have problems of their own. Her old friends from her days of Urbex (exploring old abandoned buildings) offer a glimmer of hope for the future.

Another good story with great characters
Slightly different but with new characters and guest appearances from much loved names other novels, a good, fairly light story but oh, the narration! The accents were all over the place making the whole thing a chore to get through.

OK but disappointing narration
I enjoyed the Jackman and Evans books so looked forward to this back story, but was disappointed on several counts. The narration was annoying, like reading a story to a child with almost no pauses between character changes so sometimes confusing. The plot was a bit low key and too Mills and Boon for my taste, and the character of Beth the supergran was unlikely and too sugar sweet to be likeable. I was hoping for another police plot and this wasn't one.
In my opinion it was not a patch on the detective novels the author writes.

Engrossing and Inspiring
Loved this slightly different but enthralling story from Jodi Taylor. Always enjoy feeling drawn in by characters you feel you already know from other works. A different, but really involving adventure.

such a rewarding story.
one of the best stories I've heard in a long time - but that's Joy Ellis's forte. Great characters & pleasingly mysterious, but not too fraught, plot. Excellent, again.

Great story. Terrible narration
Joy Ellis is one of my favourite authors but the narration in this is awful. They all have a weird Australian/English/American accent

The Twist in the Storyline
Thoroughly enjoyed this book; initially believing it would be a detective based storyline it became so much more.
Absolutely well worth listening to.
