A Word with the Dead

DCI Evan Warlow Crime Thriller, Book 17

By: Rhys Dylan

Narrated by: Tobias Weatherburn

A body in the hills. A missing man. An unreliable witness.

When a drone uncovers a dead cyclist in the West Wales countryside, DCI Evan Warlow is pulled into a case where the clues are scarce, the suspects slippery, and the motive buried deep beneath layers of power and deceit.

From a silent hospital ward to a shadowy woodland path, this is a mystery that exposes more than murder—it unravels a community.

Gripping, atmospheric, and disturbingly relevant.

Edge of the seat crime fiction. A Word With The Dead is the engrossing 17th novel from bestselling crime author Rhys Dylan. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and Peter Robinson.

Next Please!

I love this series. There are few I'm willing to read/listen to again after I'm done/reading/listening to them. This series is among those few. I love the characters and the stories Rhys Dylan weaves together. They're always smart, thought-provoking and heart-warming in equal measure. He & Tobias Weatherburn (who's effing amazing btw!) make a fantastic partnership.

Another riveting addition!

This entire series is phenomenal. Every title features a Fantastic storyline (often several tangled together); well fleshed out character arcs; outstanding narration; highly recommend!!

another good story

the team up to deal with trafficking. a few loose ends for next time..

Gripping mystery with a surprise ending!

Once again Mr. Dylan race a fantastic story. It starts out innocently enough seeming like it was going to take one direction, then went in a completely different one. Along with the main cast of characters, there's added a few more very special ones. It would be great if Ivy made an appearance in another book going forward. This book as in all the rest in the series adds another layer of character development for the main cast. It also adds a few extra teasers that hopefully the next book will explain. As always, the storytelling is great and the delivery was spot on. I look forward to the next installment in a series. hopefully it won't be too long.

team work

I really enjoy how all of the team work together so well they are each great at what they do individually which makes the team work together so well. and yes I also enjoy Gil and all the little humor throughout the whole story.
