Synopsis (Amazon)
Evan Warlow is a man with enemies. As a DCI in the Dyfed Powys force, that comes with the territory. But when two of his most vicious critics are abducted and turn up dead in a macabre tableau, tough questions need to be asked.
The uncomfortable answers lead Evan and the team back to his roots and an old case that has haunted him for years. The deaths in the forest have all the hallmarks of a dangerous killer with no fear of consequences. And when one of Evan’s fellow officers becomes the next target, it’s clear that the murderer isn’t finished yet.
There’s a coppery aroma of vendetta in the air. Unless Evan and the team can get to the root cause of the killer’s twisted anger, there will be more deaths. And guess who’s next on the list?
This dark murder mystery full of action and pathos with a dash of dark humour will keep you guessing.

My Take
This series is developing nicely. I like the focus on team development and the introduction of KFC who doesn't quite fit - he is cynical and constantly looks to cut corners. For the rest of the team, each is becoming a personality with memorable characteristics, and, in some cases, problems.
The story is a macabre one: a very nasty couple have been killed, but there are few clues as to who or the motive.
The series is quite long now (17 books) but I am planning to work my way through it. So far it has a nice blend of believable plots and challenging mysteries.
My rating: 4.5
