Description
Meet DI Andy Horton. He’s a risk-taking Harley-Davidson-riding detective who doesn’t always play by the rules . . . which often lands him in trouble with his bosses.
Suspicious lights at sea, decomposing bodies and an old flame send Horton down a rabbit hole in this captivating crime thriller.
An elderly man obsessively watches the coast from his Victorian house high on the hill above Ventnor. When he observes mysterious lights out at sea, he reports them to the police.
The local police think he’s a bit of a nuisance. And when Horton interviews him he’s inclined to agree. A judgement he may bitterly regret.
Meanwhile a call comes through from Horton’s partner, DS Cantelli. A woman’s decomposing body is pulled out of the sea, wearing a Victorian-style dress. The post-mortem gives them a massive shock.
And when another body is found, Horton thinks he’s got a serial killer on his hands.

I listened to the audio version of The Chale Bay Murders by Pauline Rowson over one weekend. This is the first book I have read in this series. I may go back and read the previous ones, as I liked the author's writing style.
I enjoyed getting to know the characters in this book, especially DI Horton. Apparently, he has been trying to find out the truth about his mother's disappearance that occurred when he was 10 years old. And we find out what happened! There is a prologue so new readers to this series will understand this part of the story.
I enjoyed listening to the narrator. He had a smooth voice, and it was pleasant to listen to and kept my attention.
The story is full of action and plenty of bodies and suspects to make for a good mystery. A very good story and one I would recommend.

A new author to me and I liked the writing style. Although this is #7 in the series, the salient points are recapped and easy to pick up.
DI Andy Horton likes to do things his own way and isn't keen on his boss' yearning for promotion and back-covering. He knows which colleagues like to get the job done and which want to be seen to be important.
Horton initially sets out to investigate the circumstances of his mother's disappearance by meeting a retired police officer who was involved with the case. His investigation gets sidetracked by the discovery of an unusual body in the sea and a visiting super yacht, which it transpires belongs to the husband of his ex.
With all the threads intermingling, Horton is determined to uncover what is really going on, putting himself in danger in the process.

I listened to the audio version of this book, the narrator had a great voice and read the story well. He was good at changing his voices for the characters and was clear with every chapter.
DI Andy Horton is on another murder mystery, when he finds a body in the sea and another body later, he needs to find the killer. A great mystery/murder with a great location and great characters.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.
