About this listen

You can bury the bodies, but you can’t hide the truth.

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.

As the original investigator for the two missing persons eight years before, Evan is recalled to help with what is now a murder inquiry. But as the killer scrambles to cover up the truth, the body count rises.

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?

The Engine House is the gripping debut crime thriller set in the heart of wild Wales from author Rhys Dylan. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk. JM Dalgliesh and Simon McCleave. Celtic noir with a spatter of dark humour.

Excellent!

Extremely well narrated. Being an American, enjoyed a contemporary crime case in Wales. Enjoyed the characters & learning how detectives operate differently there.

Excellent Welsh crime story

I love the Wale’s coastline and spirit of the Welsh people, plus an excellent, unanticipated story & ending.

A Welsh DCI Procedural

Now for something entirely different: A Welsh DCI Procedural.
It follows the usual pattern of trying to establish continuing patterns of behavior for the unknown suspect.

Joseph Tweedale is a good narrator.

Pembrokeshire setting good

I liked the setting and the plot was nontrivial. The performance was also excellent. However I found mystery as modest and hero/heroine were lucky to come out on top. Still I will read more
