The Woman on Mulberry Lane

DI Morgan Yeoman #1

by Emmy Ellis

DI Morgan Yeoman has hassle at home and hassle at work. He doesn’t get on with his wife, and a woman has turned up dead down the alley beside Halfway House. Add a prickly team member and his DS always turning up late for work, and Morgan isn’t a happy chap.

Another deceased woman is found, and it’s clear the two are linked. They’re friends, but what connects them in death? A third murder is a little too close to home, and Morgan makes a decision that could cost him his job if he’s caught.

A gang of kids back in the past hold the key to understanding the puzzle, plus a man just released from prison who was put away for murdering a teenager.

Who killed Jacob Everson?

Why are the gang members being picked off one by one?

And will Morgan lose the plot when a shocking discovery comes to light?

Take a walk down Mulberry Lane, a street where secrets can no longer remain buried.

This is yet another gripping series from Emmy Ellis, not your usual run-of-the-mill type cop series, I can guarantee that.

To be honest, at first I didn’t really like the lead character, DI Morgan Yeoman but he grew on me throughout the story and what a story it was too.

A little near the knuckle now and again, but as usual, the characters are sublime and leap off the page, as with all of Emmy’s books.

Give it a go, you won’t be sorry.

A new series by author Emmy Ellis. What a great start to this new series. Was a bit unsure about the lead character DI Morgan Yeoman at the start but he grew on me, and i think deep down he is a good man.

The story follows an innocent man who is seeking revenge for the killing of a school boy many years ago. The gang were a bunch of youths, who made a pact never to talk about what happened and not to met each other again.

I loved the ending wont spoil it for anyone else! I hope we see more of Val and Phil in any forthc0ming books. And why do i see a spark between Morgan and Jane Blessing lol

Highly recommend.

not for me

Sadly, the first page had unsavoury language so I’m presuming it won’t let up therefore I’m not reading any more though the title sounded wonderful and I love British mysteries so I’m disappointed . I’m sure others will like it.

[Debra Whisson]

I wasn’t sure whether I was going to finish the book as none of the characters are remotely likeable. I did persevere and enjoyed the story , and will give the 2nd book a go.

Righting Wrongs Wrongfully

The sins of the past come to haunt a group of childhood chums. An investigator is determined to get to the bottom of things. But trouble strikes close to home.

I was almost tempted to give up on this novel. The characters, cops and criminals were uniformly unpleasant. But as the story picked up so did my interest. If you can get throughthe first quarter it evolves into a satisfying tale of revenge.

[Khurshid Ali]

In this new saga we are introduced to DI Morgan, a policeman who does things his away.

A innocent man accused of murdering a child, a group of children who were the actual killers. Someone is killing them off one by one.

People hiding secrets, are they linked? Who are the killers, read and find out

Twisty thriller

As the bodies add up, there’s plenty of suspects. DI Yeoman is a different kind of copper, that doesn’t always play by the rules. An unhappy marriage and some dodgy colleagues offer a novel approach to solving crimes.
The tension ramps up and there are surprising casualties. A few more twists are thrown in at the end.

[Judy Vinaka]

3.5 ⭐️
This was okay! The plot and ending didn’t have that shock factor I would have liked to see, it was all kind of predictable. At times it would be a bit confusing for whose POV I was reading in each chapter but overall, it surprisingly had some witty moments which i enjoyed.

[Christine]

An original plot with original characters. I enjoyed this creepy investigation with its creepy murders as well as twists and turns. Utterly compelling as to the development of the plot , the investigation let me wonder at the conclusion up to the last page... I have already started book 2.

[Carol]

A great start to a new series, I enjoyed this book one to the series. I wasn't sure about the main characters at 1st, but they grew on me halfway through the book. I will definitely rad the rest of the series,

[GemSco]

almost gave up on the book - moved slowly and the characters are really unlikeable.
but preserve the story picks up by half way through i needed to know how it ends
will give the 2nd book in the series a try

[Geraint Wiggins]

The start of the book was pretty good and interesting but I must admit I got lost in the characters which did spoil it for me.
Also the murders in such a small tight knit community was baffling to me.

[Sam Fry]

Not quite what I expected. A bit slow & tame with the characters taking over, rather than the resolving of the murders. It was all a bit jumbled with not a lot happening to begin with, so I found it a struggle to get through it.

[Donna Wilbor]

A great read

This author never disappoints. I always know that I can settle down enjoy her no nonsense writing with a cup of tea and my feet up. On to the next from Ms Ellis

[Michelle]
