Description
FROM #1 BEST-SELLING AUTHOR JOY ELLIS, A TOTALLY ABSORBING CRIME THRILLER FULL OF STUNNING TWISTS AND TURNS.
Discover the author who’s sold over two million books globally.
Detectives Rowan Jackman and Marie Evans are told that their IT boss has disappeared. They soon suspect foul play. Orla Cracken, known as Orac, is no ordinary techie; she was once a field agent traveling abroad undercover, working for the government.
Meanwhile DC Robbie Melton discovers that two people, both urban explorers, have mysteriously disappeared while out exploring abandoned buildings. One went missing at a disused airfield, but was it a military base, or was it civilian?
The gruesome discovery of their decaying bodies found hanging in ancient church ruins bursts the case wide open, and Jackman and Evans are under pressure to find the killer.
It soon becomes clear that the murderer is targeting urban explorers, but why is he determined to track down and torture these innocent people, and how is the case connected to Orac’s mysterious past, still shrouded in secrecy?
THE LATEST CRIME THRILLER BY JOY ELLIS, SET IN THE LINCOLNSHIRE FENS, WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING — AND YOUR PULSE RACING— UNTIL THE VERY END.

They Disappeared by Joy Ellis is the seventh Jackman and Evans book in the series. This series just improves all the time. Joy has a knack of putting words together and the magic creates itself!
Jackman and Evans discover the IT boss Orla Cracken or Orlec has gone missing after they go to her house. She is gone and her car is too. Due to the high security of her building, they realise this is not normal, she is constantly at work. What they aren't aware of is her past and boy she has a past. They actually begin to fear for her life.
Two urban explorers have gone missing while out exploring buildings, their rotting bodies are discovered hanging in an ancient church ruins, Jackman and Evans are tasked and under immense pressure to catch this killer. As time ticks away it becomes crystal clear that the killer is targeting urban explorers, but the reasoning for this is a puzzle that needs piecing together before more are killed. What links this case with Orlac's past that is still under wraps and as mysterious as hell??
I enjoyed finding out about Orlac and Evans as well. Joy has in this book decided it is time wr have some more back story and I think this adds to the series as I can empathise more with these characters I have read about in seven books. As always, a crackin read and one, as I say that keeps getting better as she goes.
Thank you to Joffe Books,Joy Ellis, and NetGalley for the copy of my book for my review today.
