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.

Wonderful story writing
Absolutely loved this mixture of crime and supernatural. Wonderfully written, just wish this was a longer series. Love this early work

Unusual cross genre - but it works!
Convincing plot and characters with a good combination of supernatural and traditional detective work. I enjoyed it.

Very enjoyable.
Despite this being one of Joy Ellis' early books, it is still and excellent story. I was convinced the culprit was several characters but no such straightforward plot. I have the second of this series on my wish list and look forward to listening to it. Well narrated with only.a couple of pronunciations I wasn't happy with. Bravo. More please!

Gentle and interesting
While some quite horrid things happen in this book it is still quite charming and really very nicely written even if was an early piece of work.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow!!!
Not the run of the mill story. A really light listen that involved some twists that were very unexpected. The narrator was perfect. I really felt as though I was living this story or at least watching from the garden at the goings on. Felt like a childhood fairytale from someone else's imagination.

Thrilling story!
Love it! Couldn’t stop listening. Loved the concept of an aura displaying both qualities in a person and illness/pain they were feeling
