The lonely lanes are flanked either side by deep drainage ditches and are, for a good part of the year, filled with tall, whispering reeds. Closer to the Wash, high seabanks form a barrier between river and marsh, and the richly fertile soil of the drained land. But when the mists come down, as they so often do, perspective is destroyed and all sense of direction lost, and then the fens become a rather frightening place of mystery and danger. Somewhere that you do not want to be at night. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza, Mel Sherratt, Angela Marsons, Colin Dexter, or Ruth Rendell.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eALSO BY JOY ELLIS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE NIKKI GALENA SERIES\u003cbr\u003eBook 1: CRIME ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 2: SHADOW OVER THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 3: HUNTED ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 4: KILLER ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 5: STALKER ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 6: CAPTIVE ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 7: BURIED ON THE FENS\u003cbr\u003eBook 8: THIEVES ON THE FENS \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJACKMAN \u0026amp; EVANS\u003cbr\u003eBook 1: THE MURDERER'S SON\u003cbr\u003eBook 2: THEIR LOST DAUGHTERS\u003cbr\u003eBook 3: THE FOURTH FRIEND\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 18, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51783714734368,"sku":"9781912106431","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/ab81468050af2b9b2da382e12d4c7fed.webp?v=1780593056","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/beware-the-past-a-gripping-crime-thriller-with-a-huge-twist-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
