I have just finished Joy Ellis’s recently published An Aura of Mystery. It has been gathering dust in Joy’s attic for the last 20 years. It is the first book she ever wrote. Ellie was involved in a car accident late one night and on recovery she has a special gift, the gift of auric sight. She stays with a very dear friend, Carole, for her recovery and is helped along in this regard by some other people she eventually holds very close. Murders of young women are being carried out by a serial killer and Ellie’s help is enlisted by the police. I would never have believed it was Joy’s first book. It is very well written, unpredictable, clever and grabs your attention. It is very hard to put down. I look forward to the next book. Unfortunately there will only be the 2 books in the series.
