Summary

These were supposed to be his golden years. But he’s much happier with something to do...like solve a murder.

Former detective sergeant Norman Norman’s retirement is boring him to tears. So when he’s asked to assist an upcoming female DI and mentor a new team of misfits in a sleepy Welsh coastal town, he jumps at the opportunity to lend his expertise. But the training has barely begun when a woman’s corpse washes up on the sand.

With no reports of missing persons, DS Norman is stumped...until the post-mortem reveals a shocking hint to the culprit being local. But with a growing list of suspects who all have iron-clad alibis, the experienced cop and his fledgling team’s first case could be their last.

Will DS Norman’s reinvigorated career end in a fizzer, or can he help his young charges nab a devious killer?

A Body on the Beach is the fast-paced first audiobook in the Rejoiner mystery series. If you like smart policemen, perfect British settings and a complex web of clues, then you’ll love P.F. Ford’s captivating whodunit.

Brilliant read !

I am so hoping this series will consist of more than the 3 now available.
I’ve been totally caught up from the first chapter …..
characters that feel real and with potential …..story line that gripped from the start .
I was relieved it was devoid of ‘ irritating interference ‘ from the opposing team too !
I’m sorry I’ve come to the - very satisfying- conclusion to this case .
I started at book 3 🙄 …..so just case 2 to enjoy .

You can work out who dunnit but...

A good start to a new series. New starts in new areas of the ik is a much done premus but its done well. A bit of The Last Hope group by Gatwoid and bits of Boyd and Louth but that puts the author in goid company. Charactets are going to be developed - a given - and all will have a story of woe but honestly give this a go. Ive just used a credit for Book 2 and I dont throw these at new authors without a lot of consideration

Very slow took ages to get going

The story is very slow to get going and even then it doesn’t really peak. Poor and simplistic character portrait. The narration is awful - like a children’s story with no tension built and very poor voice changes between characters. I wouldn’t recommend sorry!
