The Dead Down: Fenburne Murder Mysteries 1 Kindle Edition
A Dangerous Request
When Sam Hyatt accepts a cold case from a friend, he has no idea of the pandora's box he's about to unravel. A retired detective inspector, he spends his days pouring over unsolved cases, making him both revered and resented amongst his colleagues. Hyatt has a brilliant mind and an eye for detail, leading to frequent requests from the local police force and, sometimes, civilians haunted by the loss of loved ones.
John Hammond is one such civilian: an old school friend of Hyatt's who lives alone in an isolated part of Fenburne, brooding on the man he wants to bring into the light. Is Alex Reece an obsession or a distraction? Sam Hyatt wonders as he arrives at John Hammond's run-down dwelling, about to reopen a case bringing a serial killer into the light.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2024A cold case and a twisted mystery. I enjoyed the book. I liked Sam and the other characters were relatable and interesting. It's a good start to the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2024A friend asks Sam Hyatt to look into a cold case. Sam gets some resistance. Sam exposes that a serial killer is responsible. An exciting novel.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2025This book is an excellent read! I really enjoyed it. I love the style, character building, and that it's fast-paced. I couldn't put it down, and I read it in just about an hour and a half or so. I think I've found a new author to buy everything they've ever written!! This isn't a super lomg book, but it really is very well developed and well written. This is a great murder mystery, with several twists and turns that will leave you surprised as the puzzle pieces start to fall into place. Not completely unpredictable, but definitely not predictable, either. Lovely mix! Nice, easy read. Highly recommended!!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2023Sam Hyatt a restored detective is hired to look into the unsolved murder of the wife and daughter of a friend from school. At first the evidence is lacking and there are no plausible suspects. The chief of police does not want the case solved. Against impossible odds Sam makes unexpected connections and a killer no one suspected is uncovered. A clever who done it that cannot be missed.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2024I loved that this story was not a typical 'cop n robber' story from anywhere. This was a story of murders, yes, but the lesson is that sometimes that little tickle of a feeling, has a reason. The ending was priceless!
Thank you, E.G. Ellory for a great story!
I received a complimentary copy of this story and this is my honest review.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023This was a great read. A retired detective is contacted by his old friend to investigate the murder of his wife and daughter.
