When a landslip on Pembrokeshire's stunning coastal path reveals the harrowing remains of two bodies, ex-DCI Evan Warlow's quiet retirement is shattered. Evan is recalled to help with what is now a murder inquiry. Working with a new young team, Warlow peels away the layers to reveal the dark and rotten heart that beats beneath the chocolate box tranquillity of an area renowned for its quiet beauty. But does he still have what it takes to root out the monstrous truth before all hell lets loose?
This is a dark, gripping atmospheric tale which sent me reading into the night. I especially enjoyed reading about DCI Evan Warlow, retired at age 50 and who walks his dog, Cadi, on the Pembrokeshire coast of Wales. The story has twists and turns that kept me guessing about The Engine House. I can't wait to read the next in the series. If you like mystery with humor with your thrillers, you will enjoy this book.
