About this listen
These were supposed to be his golden years. But he’s much happier with something to do...like solve a murder.
Former detective sergeant Norman Norman’s retirement is boring him to tears. So when he’s asked to assist an upcoming female DI and mentor a new team of misfits in a sleepy Welsh coastal town, he jumps at the opportunity to lend his expertise. But the training has barely begun when a woman’s corpse washes up on the sand.
With no reports of missing persons, DS Norman is stumped...until the post-mortem reveals a shocking hint to the culprit being local. But with a growing list of suspects who all have iron-clad alibis, the experienced cop and his fledgling team’s first case could be their last.
Will DS Norman’s reinvigorated career end in a fizzer, or can he help his young charges nab a devious killer?
A Body on the Beach is the fast-paced first audiobook in the Rejoiner mystery series. If you like smart policemen, perfect British settings and a complex web of clues, then you’ll love P.F. Ford’s captivating whodunit.

Detailed police procedural
Good character development, some very satisfying scenes questioning making assumptions. Enjoyable read, no unnecessary gore

Looking forward to the next one.
I really appreciated the slower nature of this book. The development of a new team and the breakdown of the personalities involved. I'm tired of books representing more and more outlandish murder plots by serial killers and appreciate the slower pace of this one, which includes a plausible murder. Definitely getting book 2

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

Give it time..
The narrator takes a couple of chapters before he finds his right tone and pace. I nearly gave up in the middle of chapter 2 because I thought all the characters were going to sound like whining-indignant teenage girls, but if you stay with this book it gets better quickly and turns into a very good, very well written and well-told story. I'll be looking for more from the same author.

Body on the Beach
I read this as an included book as I ran out of credit and look it’s ok. I wouldn’t rave about it, the plot is very thin and I couldn’t relate that well to the narrative.

‘Average’ but lacklustre police procedural, peppered with casual misogyny
Overall I found the story dull, with a ‘meh’ plot I found it hard to be at all invested in, no well drawn or particularly relatable characters, and uninspiring writing. All that could be down to taste and this book just not doing it for me, but I decided to review due to the repeated instances of casual sexism. Does the author think that having a female lead character will stop readers noticing the repeatedly demonstrated entrenched sexism- with subtle and/or overt examples in nearly every chapter or the pervasive misogynistic outlook.
