One More to Die: a gripping standalone thriller from multi-million selling author Joy Ellis

A GRIPPING STANDALONE THRILLER FROM MULTI-MILLION SELLING AUTHOR JOY ELLIS.

Detective Kate Carter is called out to a fatal car accident on a remote fen lane.

At first glance it looks like a drunk driver simply lost control and crashed headlong into a ditch. But nothing about the scene adds up. The number plate is fake. The driver's licence doesn't belong to the dead man in the car. One tyre doesn't match the other three. And what is a vinyl 1960s pop record doing in the glove box?

A neat puncture wound to the driver's neck reveals this was no accident.

The following day, the body of a young woman is found in an old barn out on the fens. She's been dead at least two years. Placed on the body is another vintage pop record.

And then the nightmare becomes personal. A mysterious package arrives at the station addressed to Kate: a 45-rpm record, and a chilling note scrawled in block capitals: ONE MORE TO DIE.

It's just the start. Sinister phone calls, creepy notes left on her car, unwanted gifts on her doorstep: Kate can no longer deny that she's being pursued by an obsessive stalker . . .

Is she next in the killer's sights?

This utterly gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, J.D. Kirk, Elly Griffiths, Rachel McLean or Ann Cleeves.

About the Author
Ellis, Joy: - UK #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE JACKMAN & EVANS AND DI NIKKI GALENA SERIES; SHORTLISTED FOR BOOK OF THE YEAR FICTION: CRIME & THRILLER AT THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2021 OVER 3 MILLION BOOKS SOLD! Joy grew up and lived in Kent, trained in floristry in Mayfair and ran her own highly successful floristry business in Weybridge for many years. In the mid-1990s, she followed her lifelong love of books, first as the manager of an independent bookshop in Leatherhead, Surrey, then as a writer. When she retired, Joy and her partner Jacqueline and their two spaniels settled in a village just outside Boston, captivated by the Lincolnshire Fens. Joy's happy home life is far removed from her storylines, however, and while she loves living in the misty Fens, the area provides a remote and eerie backdrop to her novels. Joy is also able to add the authenticity vital to any crime thriller by drawing on Jacqueline's inside knowledge, to confirm procedures and the reality of tackling brutal crime and criminals in a modern police force.
