Llangynog Murders #6
Not Coin, but Wrath
A man lies in an alley, beaten to death. Another man stumbles away, his memory of what happened erased by a blow to his head. Nearby, a walking stick has been flung aside, bloodied and broken.
In his most personal case to date, DCI Will Cooper tackles an investigation that points directly at his former partner and nemesis, Sean Notley, as the main suspect. Although he swears to remain impartial as the case progresses, Will works desperately to prove Notley’s innocence, despite the fact that not even Notley whether he is, indeed, innocent or not. Laser-focused on the case, Will allows his domestic responsibilities to fall back on his new wife, Bronwyn, who is finding married life more than a bit overwhelming. Used to the freedom to wander the wild country of North Wales during her free time, she must now spend those hours fulfilling most of the parenting demands concerning Will’s niece Lark, as well as keeping their home life in order. When Bronwyn is questioned in a local murder, it becomes one burden too many, and she descends into grief and self-blame, believing that she could have prevented the death even if she wasn’t directly responsible for it. Her fragile emotional state leads her to say things to Will that she regrets, things that result in a rift that threatens a marriage already teetering thanks to work commitments and too little time available to spend together.

March 29, 2023This is the 6th book in the Llangynog Murders series. I think it's my favorite so far. Will's character is being developed and he's very likeable and very human. The mystery is complex and not predictable.
