About this listen

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.

Now awaiting film version of this amazing book!

This was another winner. It would make an Excellenct screenplay/film version with all the vivid descriptions of the auras and energy fields. I would even sign on to see a full series of these stories after reading more in this vein. Kudo Joy! It is no wonder you became a successful crime writer after this beginning. I hope you will consider making more like this as well.

A little predictable but exciting

Love this and the first book. A little eerie story and great character builds. Love Joy Ellis and thinks these were good additions to her library. Would recommend.

Entertaining and interesting

Joy Ellis is a great story teller. She describes this novel and its precedent novel are her “novice entry” as a writer. Novice or not, both books were quite interesting and enjoyable. I’m not a literary critic, I just enjoy a good story.

Almost there...

This book is detail-heavy and got weighed down alot. Having said that, I still loved the premise and look forward to the next installment. The narration is terrific.

Refreshingly unique twist on the murder mystery!

I love the unique gifts of the central characters and how Ellis is able to create a her heroes and villains with grounded vulnerability. The story is well structured and mystical with a lovely balance of realism. I wish she would continue this series with more Ellie and Michael!! Love, love, love it!! Congrats Ms Ellis, your first two novels hidden away in the attic are wonderful!
