THE DETECTIVE
DI Nikki Galena: A police detective with nothing left to lose, she’s seen a girl die in her arms and her own family destroyed. She’s tough on criminals but fiercely loyal to her team.
THE SETTING
The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police, due to the distances between some of the remote fen villages, the dangerous and often misty lanes, and the poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland and a visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.

My Review
I have been following Joy’s writing journey for a number of years now and always enjoy it when she releases a new book. This one is book 13 in her brilliant Nikki Galena series and the books keep getting better with each one. You don’t need to have read the previous books but it would help with the character recognition and understanding if you had read a couple first.
This book is different to joy’s previous books as we find out who the killer is quite early on but also find out that the higher ups in the security services want to keep everything quiet. The person in question is in love with nature and despises anyone who doesn’t agree with him.
As with Joy’s other books this one is a very fast moving book which flows nicely and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series
