Joy Ellis:
I am listening to Darkness of the Fens. I also happen to be reading Elly Griffiths’ The Stone Lantern. Both books take place on the fens and have a pub called The Hanged Man. Is there such a pub in the area? Or was it pure coincidence?

Hello Liz
As far as I know there is no pub here called that, but it is a favourite of crime writers when mentioning folk lore in their books (due to it's gruesome connotations!) So, it's pure coincidence, and oddly enough I was listening to an excerpt from an MC Beaton book last week, and there was The Hanged Man again! We writers must get more imaginative! Ha-ha!

Hello Joy so pleased & excited to hear there be more Jackman & Evans read them all & almost finished reading all the Nikki Galena . I am falling in love with the characters & enjoy Seeing the development of their relationship especially with Nikki & Joe Easter I find the story lines quite exciting I hate to put the book down. But I'm afraid I'm not a fan of Matt Ballard. Do you have favorite characters?
