The Farlington Marsh Murders

Written by Pauline Rowson

Narrated by Andrew Scarborough

When the past refuses to stay buried, danger surfaces in the most unexpected places.

Detective Inspector Andy Horton attends the funeral of ex-con Daryl Woodley, tasked with keeping an eye out for a feared crime boss linked to Woodley’s murder. But the case already defies explanation: Woodley was brutally assaulted, spent three days in the hospital, then vanished – only to be discovered dead three miles away in the Farlington marshes.

Horton’s surveillance yields nothing… until dawn brings a new victim. A woman Horton recognises from Woodley’s funeral.

As the two deaths intertwine, Horton races against time – and a chilling warning – to unmask a cunning killer before they strike again.

Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons, and Elly Griffiths.

“The Harley Davidson-riding, boat-dwelling Horton is a fascinating man to get to know, and his thoughtful approach to detection is a pleasure to read.” Publishers Weekly
