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.

Please note this audiobook was previously published as A Body in the Lane.

On a cold, late evening in January, Llangwelli Police receive a mysterious 999 call. No-one speaks, and the only sound before the line goes dead is ragged breathing.

The call is traced to Dragon Barn Lane, a narrow, pitch-black stretch of road that’s rarely used. Detective Judy Lane is the only officer on hand, and knows she shouldn’t go alone, but what if someone is seriously hurt?

Detective Norman receives a call from Judy at the scene, requesting backup. He races over, only to find a dead man in leathers sitting against a tree, and the young detective unconscious nearby.

If the biker is dead, who attacked Judy? And who made the 999 call?

Next morning Detective Norman’s team find the body of a young woman by a ditch near the scene of the incident.

Llangwelli doesn’t normally see serious crime, but with two dead bodies, something — or someone — very nasty has visited this quiet little harbour town.

It’s up to Detective Norman to uncover the truth — before any more of his young team get hurt.

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.©2021 P. F.

Great book

This book shows how important it is to read a series in order. In the last book there were two strands - the second minor strand really comes to the fore in this book and really works well. I thoroughly enjoyed how the strands were twisted and turned and red herrings introduced to keep you engaged throughout.
It is interesting to see how the misfits are developing with some care and attention and they are really coming into their own.

Had this series recommended to me ……started on ‘ last available ‘ for some reason !
Loved it ! Great characters that I ended up caring about ….good strong story line that kept me guessing .
Enough satisfying twists and turns ——and a core story that was handled so well .
No unnecessary graphic details …no strong profanities….extremely well written and narrated .
Now off to catch up with books 1 & 2 !

I am enjoying the books but I do find Norman’s voice choice very irritating, the books aren’t as good as Cheryl Rees-Price (Winter Meadows) with Andy as narrator but I will continue the series.

Mmmmm
