A Body at the Farmhouse

The West Wales Murder Mysteries, Book 4

By: P.F. Ford

Narrated by: Andy Cresswell

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 last one for me.

Who talks like these people? Their dialogue is mind numbingly tedious. I think I have to move on from UK authors which have been such a big part of my life. The PC stories are all so predictable and boring. Will we ever see an edgy, inappropriate interesting character again, male or female? I think not.

A Bad Daytime Soap Opera

For those who enjoy hours and hours of who is sleeping with whom. This book had many participants with various scenarios trying to go for tantalizing I guess, but the whole thing just felt awkward.
I wish the author had spent his talents developing a better mystery.
