Walking by Night (A Joe Plantagenet Mystery, 5) Hardcover – July 1, 2015

The latest in the Joe Plantagenet series is an intriguing mystery. There's death amongst a group of actors; Joe must investigate this while keeping an eye on a young woman (with tragedy of her own) who stumbled upon the first body. In addition, a little bit of his back story is revealed. It'll be interesting to see how that plays out.Between this and the Wesley Peterson series (which you should also be reading), Kate Ellis has a lot on her plate, and she pulls all of it off magnificently. A fine writer.

Just what I wanted.

The fifth book about Detective Inspector Joe Plantagenet.A young girl on her way home from the pub stumbles over a dead body, but when the police get to the scene of crime the body is gone. She also claims that she was watched by someone that looked like a nun, but the police don't believe her story since she was quite drunk. But Joe Plantagenet feels that the girl may be telling the truth, and then a body is found.I was very happy to be approved for the latest book in the Joe Plantagenet series. I have never read a book in the series before, but I have read a book in her Wesley Peterson series and I loved that book. So, I was looking forward to reading this book very much. I liked Joe Plantagenet, he was an interesting character and the fact that he was supposed to have become a priest instead of a cop (Just like Hathaway in Lewis the TV-series) was intriguing. The story was interesting. I kind of narrowed it down to a couple of suspects towards the end, but I didn't figure out exact who the killer was before it was revealed.I liked this book very much and I have owned​ the first book in this series and I'm looking forward to reading that one!Provided by the publisher through NetGalley for a review!

Walking By Night has proven to be just what I needed, a break from heavier things with a British procedural, set in a foggy Yorkshire town full of history and unexplained death. I haven't read any of the books of this series before but that did not seem to interfere with understanding the characters or the essentials of their histories. I find that I have read a couple of books in another of Ellis' series and have others on my tbr and would definitely read more of this Joe Plantagenet series.The mystery itself is complex from the start with multiple leads, multiple directions of inquiry. And the narrative itself follows more than one character's voice. I enjoyed the chase, not allowing myself to become too worried about red herrings. Instead, I simply read on---wondering who, in the end was responsible. Enjoyable--except for the victims.Rating 3.5*A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in return for an honest review.

The only reason I entered 1 star and poor, is because I wanted to get to this box and tell you that I never ordered Walking by Night so I did not read it and I hope I was not charged for it.

Excellent as always - another good story based in York (Eborby). Love the character of Joe Plantagenet but just don't see why Kate Ellis cannot call it York!!

Really pleased with everything.

Living in York, I find these series more than interesting; very good story line and keeps one guessing right until the end.

Great book, arrived in good condition and on time.

Excellent as usual looking forward to more
