Summary
Matt and Liz may have retired from the police, but that doesn't guarantee a quiet life.
An abandoned carpet bag full of mysterious handwritten notes. A body in a marshy lagoon.
Matt is intrigued when his partner Liz brings home an old carpet bag she found dumped in the local library. It contains a pile of mysterious handwritten notes. Liz is convinced the bag belongs to Old Molly, a local woman who lives on the streets.
The following day, a body is discovered in a marshy lagoon. It's Old Molly. Suffocated with an expensive men's handkerchief.
Molly clearly knew something that got her killed. Liz believes she was trying to tell them something important. She calls on her nephew David to help decipher the carpet bag notes.
Meanwhile Matt is hired to find teenage runaway Liam Cooper. Liam has been missing for ten days now, and Matt has a very bad feeling about him. A few days later, a second body is discovered in an old barn out on the fens.
Matt and Liz must piece together the cryptic clues Molly has left for them before more people die. The answers lead to the remote fenland village of Marshdyke-St-Mary—and a series of shocking secrets stretching back many years.

Very involved
At times I had to scroll back to ensure I had the right name to the person, but apart from that: spellbinding throughout! Perhaps a tad demanding on reality checks, and body count grew apiece, but very enjoyable despite all that. A lot of ‘injured’ staff around, but love that they are not all superheroes.

Great plot
Enjoyed the characters in this. Ballard wasn’t my favourite detective but I have warmed to him and Liz.

Far-fetched but still a good read
I always enjoy Joy Ellis’s writing and, although I had to suspend disbelief for this one, the story still holds together.

another great Joy Ellis read
A great, fast paced, plot twisting, murder mystery ride with Joy Ellis in the drivers seat. A great set of characters gets you really invested in the private detective team from the get go. A great addition to the Mat Ballard series...

Mollys story
Love the previous books, this one was quite different Matt and Liz now out of the force private detectives looking for a lost teenager and a homeless woman Molly with a story to tell.
Mollys life story unfolds and why she became homeless and the secrets she holds through clues she leaves around and with her homeless friends. Loved their individual characters, their quirks and dogs !
Bit disappointed at the ending, the explanation was rushed a few unanswered questions but maybe that's in the next one !

A very clever story
I really enjoyed this book, as much as I enjoy all of Joys books , it’s clever and twisting and I love the fact you get to know the characters better in every episode.
