Publisher Description
One missing girl. Five bodies. Time is running out.
When nineteen-year-old university student Emma goes missing, Detective Inspector Gareth Gravel is called in. But what is a simple missing person case soon turns into something much darker as Gravel’s inquiries lead him to the graves of five young women - each of whom looks just like Emma.
With a serial killer on the loose and his latest victim already in his control, can the police find Emma in time? Or will Emma have to save herself?
The Carmarthen Murders is the first book in the dark, edge-of-your-seat Carmarthen Crime thriller series set in the stunning West Wales countryside.

Customer Reviews
Great start and middle but not the end
Really liked the book but didn’t like the ending. It felt very rushed and just not happy with the story line.
Glad it was free
I almost stopped reading this after the first couple of pages. It’s stilted style and silly plot- complete with mad mother and stereotypical psychopath- coupled with a pair of old plods - does not make for an easy or enjoyable read. One of the hapless bobbies is murdered but the story goes absolutely nowhere with that event. Not sure why that wasn’t used as a clue to the murderer. Why bother? A dead end. Literally.
I, like the plot, plodded on regardless and there’s a bit in the middle which brings it to life for a while. Sadly, that doesn’t last and the end comes up very quickly - probably a good thing on the whole. I won’t be buying the next in the series.
