Book Cover: ONE MORE TO DIE by Joy Ellis

OVER A BILLION PAGES READ. MILLIONS OF COPIES SOLD. DON'T MISS THE TWISTIEST MYSTERY YOU'LL READ THIS SUMMER.

A TOTALLY GRIPPING STANDALONE FROM ONE OF THE UK’S MOST BELOVED CRIME AUTHORS — JOY ELLIS.

Out on the Fens, someone is watching her. And they’re getting closer.

When Detective Kate Carter is called to a car crash on a lonely fen lane, she expects a tragic accident. But the details don’t add up. The number plate is fake. The ID doesn’t match the body. The victim has a clean puncture wound to the neck — and there’s a 1960s vinyl record in the glovebox.

Then a second body is discovered in a derelict barn. She’s been dead for years, wrapped in sacking and hay. Hidden beneath her coat: another vintage pop single. Both records come from old jukeboxes — and both date to 1964.

That’s when it turns personal.

A parcel arrives at the station: a 45-rpm record and a note scrawled in block capitals: ONE MORE TO DIE.

Then come the silent phone calls. The unwanted gifts. The creepy notes. Someone is slipping into Kate’s garden, leaving packages on her doorstep, even sneaking into her home — and they know everything about her.

Kate is no longer just investigating a murder. She’s become the next target.

Set against the brooding beauty of the Lincolnshire Fens — a flat, eerie landscape of derelict barns, private graves and secrets that refuse to stay buried — this is one of the most gripping crime thrillers you’ll read this summer.

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, LJ Ross and Rachel McLean.
