Summary
Accident or murder? A dangerous serial killer. Can Drake catch a murderer trusted by everyone?
When 89-year-old Emyr Isaac is found dead in his home, Drake and his team initially suspect a burglary gone wrong. Isaac was old, and his death was a tragedy, but it’s not a murder case...is it?
But as the investigation develops, Drake uncovers more suspicious deaths - all elderly victims, all seemingly innocent - but with one connection: Each victim received care from the same healthcare professional during their last moments.
If Drake’s suspicions are correct, they have a dangerous serial killer on the loose - someone who should offer help and safety, not a chilling early demise. Soon, the team realize that stopping this killer will require playing a dangerous game. Drake must do all he can to ensure no more lives are lost...even if it means putting members of his own team in harm’s way.
A Cold Dark Heart is the eighth book in the dynamic Inspector Drake crime series. If you like clever mysteries, great plots, and believable characters, then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s Ian Drake novels.

This is a real page-turner with plenty of twists, and an excellent police procedural where we get to follow the case in detail from start to finish. The characters are all skillfully drawn, and it has been great to see how they have evolved from the beginning of the series. Drake is quite a complex character who likes everything neat and tidy, though his OCD isn't quite as severe as it was, possibly due to the fact that his personal life is happier. He does have a new boss, though, which adds to his stress. A Cold Dark Heart is the eight book in one of my favourite series. It could be read as a standalone, but best read in order so that you get to know the characters.
As always Richard Elfyn's voice takes me straight to the gorgeous landscapes of North Wales and makes listening to the book a real pleasure.
Another excellent book in a great series

It did not disappoint and was a great listen made extra special by the narration by Richard Elfyn. The fact these are set in Wales do not make my bias I promise!

A scary premise for a story as those who are supposed to care for you could be the ones that you should fear the most. The more thrilling part for me, was when a member of his team is put in the lion’s den and then what plays out will keep you on the edge if your seat! Yikes!
Excellent as per
