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 is a bit old-fashioned, but he’s also willing to learn from his band of misfit recruits.

He’s asked to mentor a team of misfits in a sleepy Welsh seaside town. But training has barely begun when a woman’s body washes up on the beach at Llangwelli.

It turns out to be local woman Kimberley Lawrence. Missing for over a week, but her husband didn’t report her disappearance.

The team’s investigation hits a brick wall — no one will talk, and every suspect seems to have an alibi.

Then the discovery of a missing shoe turns the case on its head.

It’s going to take all Detective Norman’s experience to whip his band of inexperienced misfits into shape to catch a killer.

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.

I am so hoping this series will consist of more than the 3 now available.
I’ve been totally caught up from the first chapter …..
characters that feel real and with potential …..story line that gripped from the start .
I was relieved it was devoid of ‘ irritating interference ‘ from the opposing team too !
I’m sorry I’ve come to the - very satisfying- conclusion to this case .
I started at book 3 🙄 …..so just case 2 to enjoy .

Brilliant read !

Enjoyed the story, albeit took a while to get going. My only criticism was the narrator, his change of voices and accents were good, however he didn't seem relaxed in his delivery, almost as if he was trying too hard?

Good story...however.

I got this as an Audible freebie, and didn't really have much expectation of a good book. Just occasionally, you stumble upon a new author or series. This is one of those...This novel is a scene setter, and an introduction to the key charecters. Well narrated, interesting characters and a well crafted plot. I've just ordered the next two in the series.

Really enjoyable listen.

Honestly there are so many laughable moments throughout this book. One of the best books I've listened to this year!

Had me hooked!
