DI Morgan Yeoman #4
Dead Reckoning
Please note this book was previously published as The Hassle on Vicar’s Gate.
Thirty years. Two detectives. One vicious killer.
The woman’s body is found between two wheelie bins in Vicar’s Gate. She’s still warm, but there’s no saving her.
Within days, another woman is discovered outside a shop in a delivery bay, brutally killed in the same way.
Detective Morgan Yeoman knows death, but there’s something about these murders that sends shivers down his spine — he’s seen these chilling scenes before.
Decades ago, several young women from Pinstone vanished, only to be found strangled and assaulted, their bodies posed in grotesque ways. The killer was never caught.
Now it’s happening again. A deadly reckoning. The killer never left Pinstone. He just got better at hiding.

Another amazing book in the DI Morgan Yeoman series.
Twisted killers are Emmy’s forte, no surprise reading this book. Great characters, I have to say Yeoman is growing on me with each book, he’s so different to Emmy’s other characters.
A serial killer is on the loose and there’s a shocking revelation at the end.
Another highly recommended from me as usual.

Unexpected twist!
I love this series from Emmy Ellis. This #4 doesn’t disappoint and I was pleased to see it pop up on my kindle on release day. Her style of writing whilst blunt isn’t too heavy like some authors. A great unexpected twist. Loved it.

Keeps you guessing
Loads of twists and turns in this book. Love how it goes back and forward across the years but you have to keep your wits about you as it’s not who you think it is! Excellent writing.. cannot wait for the next.
