Its place in Detective Matt Ballard

Joy Ellis's Detective Matt Ballard series is a third parallel line of crime novels, again set within her wider Fenland fictional universe, following Detective Matt Ballard across six books published between 2017 and 2023. Like Ellis's other series, it combines procedural investigation with the isolated, weather-beaten landscape of the Lincolnshire Fens that has become her signature setting.
