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.

Joy Ellis is wonderful.

I love her character development and rich descriptions. This book had less action than some of her others and I still loved it.

Charming.

Loved the narrator who wove a basket containing complicated lives and emotions. The story was human and full of flaws. How good it felt to be able to share a happy ending. Resolve to move forward and live in the present is to be admired.

Simply beautiful!

GUIDE STAR is a different novel by Joy Ellis. It's not a mystery/suspense thriller, not at all. If that is what you want this novel will disappoint. It is a novel about not giving up even when the odds are stacked against you. British actress Shiromi Arserio does a wonderful job of narration.

Not my favorite

I really enjoy Joy Ellis mystery/detective series, this book was so much more of a romance novel that it was not as interesting as others.

Beautiful story

Somewhat different from the usual crime story, I enjoyed it tremendously. Loved the "crossover" to Jackman and Evans, brilliant. 👍👍
