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.

Really enjoyed this book

You might think this book is "woo-woo" and New Agey. It does have some minor aspects of New Age philosophy but I don't mind that at all. The Aural visions are an aspect of the story, which is primarily a police procedural/murder mystery. The main character uses her talent to good effect. Characters are well-developed and different story lines are well-integrated into the whole of the story.
Well worth a listen.

Enjoyable characters, lovely thrilling story and performance!

Nothing to dislike. I enjoyed it from the first page to the last. Definitely did not guess the killer at all, and I consider myself great at guessing these things.

Crime and supernatural

The supernatural is perfectly reasonable and makes a sense of sorts and the crime suspenseful. What else do we need?

What a unique police narrative

Ellie’s gift was blended with science which made sense and was not hokey or ridiculous.

Supernatural themes within a murder mystery

I enjoyed the book but was dumbfounded by the abrupt ending! Totally worth the listen! I will be looking for more written by this author.

Fantastic story

I have never heard of this author and randomly selected this on Audible. How could this be her first novel? How could this have sat in an attic for years?! I felt the characters development was good and moved quickly. Thanks for pulling it out for us!!
