The Detective Series: Nikki Galena by Joy Ellis

Recently, I found myself up to date with my favourite authors. I had read all their back catalogues already and I needed to try out new authors. My absolutely favourite genre of book isn’t romance as you would imagine, it is crime thrillers! Yes, who would have guessed! So, with some time on my hands, I turned to Amazon Kindle suggestions of books I should read.

It did not let me down.

It recommended Joy Ellis and her detective series Nikki Galena. So far, it is a ten book series with more to come. As soon as I finished one book, I could not resist opening the next, I found them highly addictive. I love the way Joy writes, her stories are fast paced, gripping, full of action and suspense, superbly written with relatable characters from the detectives, police, family members to the local community. However, the main character is Detective Inspector Nikki Galena. She is a powerhouse, respected by her team, strong, brave, committed, and clever.  

As it is a detective series, the main premise of the stories is a murder, usually more than one, committed by a serial killer, which the detectives have to apprehend in a race against time before more people are killed. Each time Joy kept me guessing till the end. I really recommend starting this series because they are brilliant. Once you start one, you will want to continue through the whole series. I seriously can’t wait for the next book in the series to be released.
