Synopsis (Amazon)
 
The egg man cometh...

When a delivery driver stumbles across the dead body of a reclusive author in a remote area within a stone’s throw of the Llyn Brianne dam, his first thoughts are that the elderly man has had a heart attack.

But the knife sticking out of the corpse’s chest tells a different story.

Dial in some missing walkers, a secretive cult, and the unwelcome presence of paranormal-hunting podcasters and DCI Warlow has his work cut out getting to the rotten heart of the case.

This dark murder mystery full of action and pathos with a dash of dark humour will keep you guessing. 

My Take
 
Another engrossing plot, this time with some unusual elements. Each time we learn a little more about members of Warlow's team, and their personal stories progress a little further. Reading the stories in order really pays off. 

My rating: 4.5
