Hidden on the Fens by Joy Ellis

4.0

So this is the eleventh in the Nikki Galena series, while it can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading at least the previous book, Darkness on the Fens before starting this one.

A couple are being threatened with strange pagan artifacts. A derelict cottage is found on their land with the body of Jennifer Cowley who has been missing for fifteen years, along with photos of a new girl who looks exactly the same. Jennifer’s murderer was arrested but did they arrest the right man?

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of reading this series! Hidden on the Fens is an intriguing story with plenty of nail biting moments throughout.

I liked the nice bit of folklore and superstition woven into the story, which I found really fascinating and added that little bit of creepiness.

There are some quite sweet moments between Joseph Easter and his daughter Tasmin during the book. They’ve had quite a rocky relationship over the years and it’s nice to see them building bridges.

Truthfully I wish the ending would have been a little stronger, but of course that’s just a minor thing.

Hidden on the Fens is a fantastic police procedural that kept me entertained and enthralled for hours.
