Summary

Revenge is a dish best served...ice cold.

While beach combing on MOD property, two young boys stumble across a reeking mound of tangled kelp. But it isn’t the seaweed that stinks. It’s the decomposing corpse beneath it.

Called in to investigate, DCI Evan Warlow’s team are faced with finding out how and why the body of a struck-off doctor ended up on a lonely beach within sight of Laugharne’s famous boathouse.

But this is no innocent victim. This is a man with more enemies than friends. A fact that muddies the waters no end as Warlow unearths more and more of the dead man’s sordid history. Not to mention a long line of suspects.

With a killer in their midst hell-bent on achieving a deadly goal and determined to let nothing and no one stand in their way, the team need to be on their guard.

Unless they want to end up as victims, too.

Ice Cold Malice is the third book in the DCI Evan Warlow series of Black Beacons thrillers by Rhys Dylan. Set in the heart of wild Wales, this dark murder mystery tinged with wry humor and populated by true-to-life characters will keep you guessing. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk. JM Dalgliesh, TG Reid, and Simon McCleave. Celtic noir with a spattering of dark humor.

Perfectly balanced and measured

This book brought a perfect balance between detective work, character relations between squad members and enough humour to make it human.

Fantastic series

I love the new Warlow stories. The plots are gripping and the personal lives of the characters intriguing. Really well narrated too. Have listened to 3 on the trot and looking forward to the next one.

Amazingly gripping listen cannot fault this audiobook.

The author has created a detective with a rich balance of strengths and weaknesses with a good team. The storyline in this book is absolutely gripping with a great balance of tension and humour, setbacks and breakthroughs. Have listened to books one and two, which were enjoyed very much but this book came with a change of narrator who made what was already good something superb. All the available books in the series are now in my wish list and please please Audible hurry up with adding all the remaining books and future books to your collection. I give this book, and the whole series of books an extra star for what drew me to this author in the first place, I live near the Pembrokeshire Carmarthenshire border, know the places mentioned and can see them as the story unfolds.

What a difference a narrator makes

I got hooked on this series of books and I was really enjoying the storytelling as well. However, for some reason for this (book 3) and the following title, there is a different narrator and he is not nearly as enthralling as the previous one. So I'm still listening to the series, but disappointed by the change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Great

listen. Tobias Weatherburn is a fantastic narrator and gives all the characters their own distinct personality. It is also great to have a detective story in a different region of the UK. Looking forward to the next one.

South wales stories

I absolutely love this series. As a frequent visitor to this part of Wales I am transported on holiday again. Love the characters and the
banter between them. Difficult not to keep it on all the time.
