What to expect
MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE DETECTIVE.
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.
A battered body. A missing handbag. A false confession?
The call comes on Monday afternoon. Workmen are about to demolish a row of derelict cottages. They discover a body of a young woman in the bedroom of Number 9. She’s expensively dressed in designer clothes.
She’s been badly beaten. No handbag or phone is found. So her identity remains a mystery.
Then an elderly man comes forward, who used to live in the cottage. He says he’s the killer.
Case closed, it would appear. But there are holes in the old man’s story.
And when a second body is discovered in a skip behind the cottages, Detective Norman knows he must find the real 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.
