    About this audiobook

    A skeleton is found in a shallow grave in the churchyard. But this was not an official burial. The victim was murdered decades ago.

    At the same time, Detective Nikki Galena and her team are investigating the brutal slaying of local businesswoman Madeline Prospero. She was a member of an exclusive and secretive drinking club called The Briar Patch. But they've got no suspects and no one is telling them the truth.

    Meanwhile, the buried skeleton leads them on a trail to the village of Quintin Eaudyke. This is a troubled place. In the late seventies and eighties a reign of terror and abuse was unleashed on the close-knit population.

    When more women from The Briar Patch come under threat, Nikki faces a race against time to stop more murders.

    Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you in suspense until its heart-stopping conclusion.

      Brilliant as always!

      I have devoured this series of audiobooks and ‘Buried on the Fen’ was just as fantastic as the other books in the Fens catalogue!

      While Detective Inspector Nikki Galena and her team investiagte the killing of businesswomen Madeline Prospero, with no motive or suspects, a skeleton is discovered in a shallow grave. This victim was murdered many years ago.
      An enjoyable mystery once again in this series. A well-written story that carried you to the final conclusion.

      DI Nikki Galena, Detective Sergeant Joe Easter, and the team are juggling two murders--a recent, bloody murder of a prominent, successful, local businesswoman, and the newly discovered, unofficial grave of a man believed to have drowned himself thirty years ago.It's not good, especially since they're understaffed--and moreover, Joseph is being stressed and distracted by his ex-wife, Laura. The businesswoman, Madeline Prospero, was a member of a secretive drinking club, the Briar Patch, and this proves to be a problem. Many of the women are lesbians, and very prominent and well-connected--and still in the closet. Legalizing same-sex marriage didn't make sexism and homophobia disappear. Nikki is under orders to be very careful with all of them, and not to question some of them at all.The thirty-year-old skeleton unearthed in the church graveyard is surely less urgent, right?Except strange things start happening around his grave. The children he was believed to have molested, all those years ago, are still improbably affected; not one of them seems to have moved past it at all.Then more murders happen, some connected to the Briar Patch, some seemingly related to the old skeleton. Are the two cases connected?This is seventh in a series, but I think it can be followed and enjoyed out of order. Nikki and Joseph, Joseph and his ex-wife and daughter, and the various team members continue to grow and develop in their relationships. It's a rich, lived-in community of people, and the story moves and is interesting.Recommended.I bought this audiobook.
