Thanks go to the publishers, Author and Netgalley for a review copy of this book. DETECTIVE NIKKI GALENA’S FRIEND THINKS SHE HAS A DEADLY STALKER, BUT WILL ANYONE BELIEVE HER BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE? DI Nikki Galena’s close friend Helen Brook is involved in a serious accident where she is trapped in a collapsed cellar. After her hard-won recovery, Helen is still getting flashbacks to a man she says was down there with her and who confessed to a murder. But no trace of this man can be found. Then Helen tells Nikki that someone is watching her. But is all this in her friend’s imagination and part of her post-traumatic stress? And why is Stephen Cox back in town? He’s the villain who tore Nikki’s life apart and he seems to have returned to wreak more chaos. Before long the whole town is on the verge of hysteria and her friend’s fear will lead Nikki and Joseph on a very dangerous trail. Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you turning the pages until the heart-stopping conclusion. THE DETECTIVE DI Nikki Galena: A police detective with nothing left to lose, she’s seen a girl die in her arms and her own family destroyed. She’s tough on the criminals who she thinks did this to her. HER PARTNER DS Joseph Easter is the squeaky-clean new member of the team. But his nickname “Holy Joe” belies his former life as a soldier. He has an estranged daughter who blames him for everything that went wrong with their family. THE SETTING The Lincolnshire Fens: great open skies brood over marshes, farmland, and nature reserves. It is not easy terrain for the Fenland Constabulary to police, due to the distances between some of the remote Fen villages, the dangerous and often misty lanes, and the poor telephone coverage. There are still villages where the oldest residents have never set foot outside their own farmland and a visit to the nearest town is a major event. But it has a strange airy beauty to it, and above it all are the biggest skies you’ve ever seen.

It's certainly no secret, I am a huge fan of this series. From book one I have enjoyed each and every book. Here we are all ready, at book 5 and the series is growing from strength to strength. I feel the characters have become great established characters and I'm enjoying reading more about them. I enjoy the way they work together, the way the team has been built.
I'm really hoping there is going to be a lot more to this series. And hoping it could become a long running series of books. It kicks off with Nikki and Joseph being in the vicinity of what turns out to be an explosion. Trying to help free someone trapped inside a building, it turns out it is one of Nikki's friends. Fast forward and Helen is still recovering but also trying to move on with her life. Her problem is she is convinced she is being followed. Convinced someone is watching her. Having flashbacks to her accident she believes she was not alone in that collapsed building the day of her accident. She is convinced someone was there in the rubble with her. It has been brilliantly written, and put together this story. You kind of feel sorry for Helen, but are unsure if she is maybe suffering from some sort of Post traumatic stress, and imagining a lot of what she's claiming is happening. At the same time you are as convinced in parts as she is. Brilliantly put together. Nikki and Joseph have a big job ahead of them, trying to help Helen and it also seems that Cox is back in town. A character from pervious book's that has led the police a merry dance. Hurting Nikki in a way no one wants to be hurt. She is still raw and out to get him. I love how the books are set in 'The Fens' It gives the impression of a beautiful place, and a scary spooky place all at the same time. I am so concerned about giving to much away in this book. But I can't stress enough how much it is worth reading. It's a fantastic addition to the series and believe me, once you start this, it is one of those books that you really need to finish. Be warned thought, you want to get to the end, but end up gutted when it's finished. It leaves you wanting more from the series. And my own personal opinion is that, this series would be enjoyed a whole lot more if the books are read in order. NIKKI GALENA SERIES Book 1: CRIME ON THE FENS Book 2: SHADOW OVER THE FENS Book 3: HUNTED ON THE FENS Book 4: KILLER ON THE FENS Book 5: STALKER ON THE FENS
