Synopsis (Amazon)

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. 

My Take

I am thoroughly enjoying this series so far. The development of the characters working with DCI Warlow has been interesting and the plots are credible. I am looking forward to continuing my reading journey. Once again my recommendation is to start from the beginning of the series. There are many continuing threads, and the development of characters and the scenarios they are involved in is important.

My rating: 4.6
