Summary

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

THREE NICE PEOPLE. THREE TERRIBLE CRIMES. WHAT MADE THEM DO THESE AWFUL THINGS?

It’s the night shift worker who finds them. Huddled in a hospital store cupboard is elderly Edith Higgins. Knifed to death. Sitting behind her is Staff Nurse Lily Frampton, a scalpel clasped in her blood-soaked hand.

No one can understand why this kind-hearted, dedicated nurse would brutally murder a frail patient she’s spent months caring for.

That same day, mild-mannered schoolteacher Rod Black is found surrounded by the battered bodies of his pupils. Why would a well-respected teacher beat five schoolboys to death?

Then a third shocking — and equally inexplicable — incident takes place in a London homeless shelter.

I love this story line and I wish joy ellis would continue to write the series.

In the beginning joy ellis apologised for this series of books, I don’t understand why. I found them interesting and intriguing, it had me guessing who the murderer was to the end. I loved the different characters, they compliment each other and the books have made me smile, laugh, cry and shiver. It has the paranormal which is something that I don’t normally go for but I loved it. Please write more books in this series.

Light hearted but also pretty gruesome crime thriller, supernatural angle. Likable characters. Good gardening or out walking listen.

Brilliant!

I have loved reading something different from Joy. The two books have the usual mystery and the culprit was not obvious from the start which is great. Love the characters and how the crime, mystery and paranormal fit seamlessly together

Grabs attention

Enjoyed both books in the series.I really think the author should revisit the genre. With all her experience she could really build on these two books to give her readers a new and matured central character to enjoy.
