Joy in the Night

Product Information

Ridiculous? Well, yes, but that was the point. Foundation ceremonies could be very dreary occasions: “ragging” certainly livened things up. They were also an effective way for graduating students to “let off steam”. More importantly, they were a negotiated inversion of staff-student relations in an institution that was markedly hierarchical. “Ragging” was a classic example of “authorised transgression”. They were carnivalesque, temporarily inverting the rules and power structures while simultaneously blunting social criticism. Matt Ballard and Liz Haynes – ex-cops, now private investigators – were contemplating a relaxing break when a distraught woman came to beg them to look into the death of her young son, a university student of photography. He and his best mate had both died under suspicious circumstances, but it had been ruled an accident. Matt and Liz agreed to look into it, not realizing it would be the biggest case they’d faced since retiring from the force.

Two days later, Toby and Alex are dead. Carbon monoxide poisoning. An unfortunate accident. But Alex’s mother doesn’t believe it. She hires Matt and Liz to find out the truth. Oh, and one line really pissed me off (something like) “although she was overweight, she had a beautiful complexion.” WTF, Joy? How about “she was overweight and had a beautiful complexion.” I’m all for people being described as overweight, but why “although”?Simon is 9 years old. He was staying with his aunt Jessie when he goes missing. His sister Kellie is worried and the police are searching for clues. Is this disappearance somehow connected? Joy Ellis knows how to set a scene. I could put this book down. Intricately plotted the strands are gathered together providing an on the edge of your seat mystery. Highly recommended. Meanwhile, nine year old Simon has gone missing and his older sister Kellie is naturally worried. Simon was staying with his Aunt Jessie in a cottage on the edge of the marsh, but he seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. What happened to the little boy? Did someone take him? And is his disappearance somehow linked to Alex and Toby’s murders? Returning to the office ruminating on the story Minty has just told him, Liz introduces Matt to Mrs Georgia Hammam, whose teenage son Alex died the previous week in his flat from carbon monoxide poisoning, along with his friend Toby. She does not believe her sons death was an accident and she want’s Matt to find out the truth.

This is my first book by this author. I was pleased with the story and didn’t feel lost since I hadn’t read the other books. I look forward to reading the next one. It starts when a photography student takes a nighttime picture of a deserted building. But on closer inspection, the photo shows a woman in the upstairs window. Within days, the student and his roommate are dead of carbon monoxide poisoning. Matt and Liz are asked by the student’s parents to investigate. Their investigation overlaps with the police investigation of a missing nine year old boy. Endo C and Endo B: You can see them in the Alt Cams. They will be there until the screen goes to static, in which case they will try to get in. The corresponding door must be closed, or else you will die. The case for Matt and Liz is 2 young men studying at university, both talented photographers but found dead in their room from carbon monoxide poisoning. A faulty boiler was to blame but was it? Alex' mother doesn't think so and asks them to investigate. Matt and Liz are about to get a few days away, until a new case lands at their door in a double way, rather unexpectedly. Two students are dead apparently from carbon monoxide poisoning however a parent and a former CHIS think otherwise. Liz’s nephew David lands at their door after failing his physical to get into the police, something he has wanted his whole life. Liz thinks they can show him that there are more strings to the bow of law enforcement than he may first realise and he can also help them with the current case. Although book five in the series, this happily stands alone.A modern and luxurious feel is overwhelming when you enter LAX Nightclub at the Luxor. The entrance of the club leads you to a flight of stairs that overlooks the party going on downstairs. Walking down those steps towards the excitement below gives you a feel of grandeur from the moment you enter the club.

I plan to buy the kindle version when it’s released, because although I gave this audiobook my full attention, I might have missed some details. Freddy: The key to winning this night is to flash Freddy Eleven times. To do this, you must open the door he is currently at. You can tell where he is by looking at the far sides of each camera. If you have not flashed him 10 times by 6 AM, the lights will go off, and he will start twinkling in the main door, before disappearing, and randomly jump-scaring you. Once you have flashed him the necessary amount of times, he will vanish from the night and no longer appear. Floor 3: Make it to the end of the long corridor. You can die to Endo F if you don't reach the door in time or you turn around. Although the story has various plot lines and characters, it never felt jumbled and I always knew where I was in the story. I guessed one part, but that doesn’t spoil it for me, I was happy to have got it right but other parts were a complete surprise and I was never sure if the various stories would link together.

18+ To Enter

Chica resides in the closet behind you (when facing the window). The closet doors will make a creaking sound when she opens them, and she will look at you from there. Be wary, as this sound is different from the sound Bonnie makes when he opens his door. To counter Chica, simply turn off the lamp, and go about the night as normal. Failure to do this will result in her jumpscaring and stunning (but not killing) you, reducing your sanity by a considerable amount. However, if your sanity is already low (and the light next to Bonnie's door is red) while she jumpscares you, you will die. A third story line tells the story of Kellie and her younger brother Simon. After the death of their mother, Kellie has become the main caretaker of the family. Sadly, Simon is taken by dottie Aunt Jessie to 'save Simon from the bad man.'
