Review: Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis

Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ok,firstly I will start with an admission....I was wrong when I decided not to request the first book in this series The Murderers Son.I was going through a phase where I was getting fed up with books about troubled detectives or detectives that spend most of the book butting heads with arrogant colleagues/superior officers so I decided not to bother.After reading this gripping,twisty thriller I honesty regret that decision.

A teenage girl is found wandering the muddy fens,she has been drugged and is delirious.She says that she witnessed her friend Emily being dragged away from the party that they both attended that night.But no one knows who Emily is or even if she is still alive.

Meanwhile the drowned body of another girl is found on a isolated beach.

And how does this all relate to the shocking disappearance of a little girl nearly a decade has,a crime which was never solved.

DI Rowan Jackman and DS Maria Evens are stretched to the limit as they try to solve these terrible crimes and bring the perpetrators to justice.

I really enjoyed this Intreguing mystery,it was packed with twists one of which I certainly didn't see coming.I loved DI Jackman and his team,they worked well together,I loved the banter that the characters shared and the fact that there was no interdepartmental back stabbing.Jackman was a caring boss who listened to his colleagues opinions and was prepared to bring in outside help when it was needed to help solve the case.The cast of characters where realistic and believable,the plot was intreguing and engaging and some of the settings were really quite creepy.

I thought it was a very good book,I will definitely be reading the first one and look forward to reading more DI Jackman investigations in the future.

Many thanks to Jofee books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this Intreguing mystery
