I just love both series, but Nicki’s stories are wonderful. I’m reading Hidden on the Fens atm as an ARC. Just adore both series, the characters are so well rounded, they feel like family! I really don’t know how you think up such complex stories? I try and savour them, not read them too quickly. I also like the way the two series interact with each other, maybe Rory will help out Jackman or vice versa.

Hi there Carole. For some reason I missed this post completely, so sorry. Really pleased that you like the books and the characters. I'm not sure where the plots come from either! It was always my intention to write a whole series of mysteries involving several areas of the Fenland Constabulary and have them overlap. I didn't plan on two separate series, but even so, it seems to have worked, thank heavens. Sorry again for missing this. Joy x

I have 'read' (listened' to ) all 4 & am now excitingly expecting for the 5th The Stolen Boys. Just like waiting to meet up with an old friend. Thank you, Ms Ellis, for bringing Jackman and his team, his world to us. Those hours while I was driving to work and back, the story you created have been my company, my entertainment and a pristine example of one person's creativity can touch many, many souls. Right?

During the lock down I have read all your books on my Kindle, however just one thing that annoyed me in all of them was the number of times someone ran their fingers through their hair, I am now 75 years old and in all my working life have never come across anyone who does this. Apart from that I can not wait for 30th November when your next book comes out?
