About this deal

This is a good old fashioned detective story, of course police procedures are discussed but there is also a touch of whimsy due to the location & the young couple who now live in the cottage which belonged to the ‘bodies’. Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams. 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. Mid-length chapters make this easy to read until about the 75% mark, when the pace really escalates. The story takes a completely unexpected turn & the grim, brutal reality of some aspects of today’s society rears it’s ugly head. Like all teams, there are various characters & baggage they bring with them, including Warlow himself but we are not privy to what that is.

The museum houses a model of the tunnelling shield as well as images and artefacts from when the tunnel was in use as a pedestrian thoroughfare between Rotherhithe and Wapping. When a landslip on Pembrokeshire’s stunning coastal path reveals the harrowing remains of two bodies, ex-DCI Evan Warlow’s quiet-one man and his dog-retirement is shattered. As the original investigator for the two missing persons eight years before, Evan is recalled to help with what is now a murder inquiry. The Engine House's 3D printing capabilities empower our members and external businesses to create highly customised and personalised products. Whether it's personalized promotional items, bespoke prototypes, or unique components for a project, 3D printing allows for a level of customisation that was previously difficult or costly to achieve. The author perfectly captures the landscape, climate and changing culture of Welsh coast, throwing in a bit of history and folklore to add texture and character to what is a well-informed police procedural. There’s a great cast of characters to meet as well – cops, criminals, artists, mystics, business owners, farmers and more… It’s dark but not too melancholic and although Warlow is a cynical veteran investigator, there’s room for the characters to grow in their next outing.

DI Jess Allanby - newly promoted to SIO (Senior Investigating Officer) and eager to make her mark on this, her first major case to lead, Jess is nobody’s fool, a tough and tender divorced mom to a teenage daughter, whose cool grey eyes and subtly shifting composure may be more than Evan had bargained for.

The Brunel Museum takes part in the Open House Weekend event every year and, until the East London Line's temporary closure in 2007, took parties of people through the tunnel on the Underground trains as part of a guided tour of the tunnel. They also host a variety of other events through the year, especially during school holidays. There are also walks/tours in person and online.The Engine House is a Grade 2 listed conversion in the stunning development that is Perran Foundry. 10 minutes from Falmouth beach, and 10 minutes from Truro city. The trouble is, someone is one step ahead of them and soon there are more bodies to contend with. This puts Warlow into a new spin as it leads to clashes with DCI Caldwell, a former colleague he never liked and who knows exactly how to press his buttons. Now Warlow is struggling with his need to solve the case versus his inner doubts about his health and ability to perform as a detective. But he can’t really stop to think, because the reheating of this cold case has set off a chain of events that Warlow and Allanby must rush to keep up with and the novel crescendoes with a perilous clash in the deadly and decaying Engine House.

Retired DCI Evan Warlow is starting to enjoy his new life; the renovations on his cottage are nearly complete, he keeps in touch with those ex-colleagues who he wants to & he loves his walks with his Labrador, Cadi.Nursing a dark secret that (no spoilers here, and not even a hint!) has hastened his early retirement, at 50, from the Dyfed-Powys police force, Evan is unceremoniously summoned to assist when a break occurs in his last case, the unsolved disappearance of a sixty-ish couple, with Evan’s familiarity now desperately needed to help fit the new, and uncover the missing, pieces in a case that has dogged him for seven years. We would like to reassure our guests that our cleaning regime is undertaken to the highest of standards.
