About this listen

Detective Norman is out of retirement and back on the beat in a rainy Welsh seaside town. Llangwelli might be short on sunshine, but it's certainly not short on murders . . . Norman may seem a bit old-fashioned, but he's always willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits.

A battered body. A missing handbag. A false confession?

The call comes on Monday afternoon. About to demolish a row of derelict cottages, workmen discover a body in the bedroom of Number 9. A young woman, expensively dressed in designer clothes. It's a mystery what she was doing there.

She's been badly beaten. But with no handbag or phone to be found, her identity remains unknown.

Then an elderly man comes forward claiming to be the killer.

Case closed, it would appear. But there are things about the old man's story that don't add up. Detective Norman isn't convinced.

Then a second body is discovered in a skip behind the cottages — and the case takes a disturbing new twist.

Norman and his team are in a race against time to uncover the truth before more bodies turn up.

This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

Enjoyable

I really enjoy these books, I’m not keen on the narrator, I can make out if these books are supposed to make you laugh but many parts do make me lol 😁

What a stilted narration

Constant he said she said. Who edits this? It’s a good story ruined by awful narration.
