Beware the Past
Beware the Past: A Gripping Crime Thriller with a Huge Twist | Joy Ellis
7 posts | 5 read | 7 to read
"When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life. Then another murder happens with some of the hallmarks of the old case. Has the killer returned or is this just a sick copycat determined to ruin Matt's life and reputation? Everyone around Matt is in danger as the killer plays mind games with the detective. In an absolutely breathtaking conclusion, Matt and his team race against time to stop a vicious killer who knows no limits"--Amazon.com

First book finished for #20in4 Readathon.

An excellent introduction to the series. Well written and with some characters you can buy into. Intriguing plot with a few twists along the way. A great ending to the book. I look forward to continuing the series. Worked well as an audiobook.

Review for The Dying Light, book 3 in this series which isn‘t in the database
A #NetGalley Book. Not read the others in this series but enjoyed this one more as the book progressed. This book had a bit of everything although the original crime they were investigating ending up being a small part of the book but led to a good twist at the end. Quite a heavy mental health theme running through this book. Can‘t wait to read the others in this series.
