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.

The plot was well constructed with credible character development. It starts slowly but it is well worth persisting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery. Just enough twists & red herrings in the plot to keep the little grey cells engaged without the high volatile drama of some crime dramas. Lots of laughs at the unfiltered expressions from many of the characters.

Well written and engaging
