I just love both series, but Nicki’s stories are wonderful. I’m reading Hidden on the Fens atm as an ARC. Just adore both series, the characters are so well rounded, they feel like family! I really don’t know how you think up such complex stories? I try and savour them, not read them too quickly. I also like the way the two series interact with each other, maybe Rory will help out Jackman or vice versa.

Hi there Carole. For some reason I missed this post completely, so sorry. Really pleased that you like the books and the characters. I'm not sure where the plots come from either! It was always my intention to write a whole series of mysteries involving several areas of the Fenland Constabulary and have them overlap. I didn't plan on two separate series, but even so, it seems to have worked, thank heavens. Sorry again for missing this. Joy x

Hello Joy Firstly can I just let you know how much I'm loving your books! I've just finished the Nikki series while I was waiting for the next Jackman to come out. In Graves there was a new psychologist - what happened to the old one that was with Jackman? Did I miss something? Sometimes I fall asleep 😴 while reading (wee hours of the morning) but I usually find my place again the next day. Love them all

Thank you for releasing your stories 'from the attic'! I really enjoyed them and they have helped me to understand why I love your books so much. It's the characters! It's clear that you were talented from the very beginning. I'm looking forward to future books, from all of your many great characters. Will there be a new one soon?
