A savage death. A serial killer behind bars. Can Inspector Drake stop a clever murderer on a determined killing spree?
Inspector Drake is called to the holiday home of an eminent Manchester barrister and recently appointed judge to face the grizzly sight of his badly mutilated body. The scene resembles a copycat killing from years previously, when the barrister had prosecuted the perpetrator now serving life in prison.
Drake realizes the killer might be targeting the judge, the legal teams, or the journalist who covered the original trial, and he embarks on a frantic search to identify and warn them all. But when a friend of the barrister is found murdered in his yacht in a marina, Drake’s suspicion must focus on the barrister’s connections.
Clear evidence that arises to arrest and charge a suspect is thrown into confusion when another death takes place. Drake knows he has a determined killer to catch. And with his own reputation and the integrity of the Wales Police Service on the line, he cannot afford mistakes.
Can he catch the killer and avert more deaths? Written in Blood is the sixth book in the dynamic Inspector Drake crime series. If you like police procedurals, clever mysteries, and gripping thrillers, then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s Ian Drake novels.

Very enjoyable story

I now know Inspector Drake well enough that I would recognise him if I were to pass him in the street. Unfortunately I'm a long way from his Welsh haunts (and I'm not allowed out on the street anyway!). He is currently on his third side-kick, Sara. (Has the author worked his way through the previous contenders and decided Sara is the best fit?) I like Sara, but if I'm honest, she has less character than her predecessors. Hopefully we are going to get to know her a bit better now that Drake has a new lady in his life, the lovely Annie.
So, on to the investigation that is the central theme of the book. An eminent barrister is found murdered in his holiday home, in a fashion that reminds Drake of a particularly nasty series of past murders. (Murders in Wales do seem to be rather brutal and exhibitionist, I must admit, and they rarely come singly either). Over the course of the Easter holiday, Drake and Sara battle against false leads and conflicting information, to find an explanation for this death and prevent further loss of life.
I was listening to this over the Easter period, which made it all the more poignant, but it was the ending of the book that raised this from a 4 to 5 star read and cost me an hour and a half of sleep. I now have book 7 lined up and I am very much looking forward to spending more time with Drake and Sara.
Another murder in Wales.

I just love to get transported to the landscapes of Northern Wales and it’s inhabitants by Richard Elfyn’s beautiful narration. The case itself was as ever gripping, gruesome and well-paced - an absolute joy to listen to!
Fantastic narration - love this series!
