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.

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

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

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.

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.
