Detective Meadows investigates a bizarre death in a small Welsh town
When the manager of a residential home for adults with learning difficulties is found dead in the freezer, the police investigation must tread carefully. Many of the residents are vulnerable. But could one of them be the killer?
Wonderfully named Detective Inspector Winter Meadows - hippie parents have a lot to answer for - leads the inquiry. He begins to uncover some irregularities: in the finances, in the standards of care and with the account of events that staff and residents give to the police.
The neighbours of the care home are troubled with all the goings-on. But their woes are increased when one of them is found dead in her home in suspicious circumstances. Is someone trying to cover their tracks?
Who is the murderer and what is their motive? DI Meadows must get to the bottom of the case before the killer and the evidence slips through his fingers.
FROZEN MINDS is the second book to feature DI Winter Meadows and his chirpy sidekick DC Tristan Edris. It can be enjoyed entirely on its own - fans of Elly Griffiths, Val McDermid and Pippa McCathie will love it - but look out for the other books in the series.
