These were supposed to be his golden years. But he’s much happier with something to do...like solve a murder.

Former detective sergeant Norman Norman’s retirement is boring him to tears. So when he’s asked to assist an upcoming female DI and mentor a new team of misfits in a sleepy Welsh coastal town, he jumps at the opportunity to lend his expertise. But the training has barely begun when a woman’s corpse washes up on the sand.

With no reports of missing persons, DS Norman is stumped...until the post-mortem reveals a shocking hint to the culprit being local. But with a growing list of suspects who all have iron-clad alibis, the experienced cop and his fledgling team’s first case could be their last.

Will DS Norman’s reinvigorated career end in a fizzer, or can he help his young charges nab a devious killer?

A Body on the Beach is the fast-paced first audiobook in the Rejoiner mystery series. If you like smart policemen, perfect British settings and a complex web of clues, then you’ll love P.F. Ford’s captivating whodunit.

Great book! If you are a fan of DI Nikki Galena or Jackman & Evans, I think you'll like this one. The takedown of the overly officious jerk from Regional by the new DI is epic. Great characters, even though they aren't fully developed yet. Good plot that moved along quite nicely. I'm now listening to the second book in the series and it's just as good.

Very Entertaining!

Quite a different approach to a detective novel and it worked so well! Enjoyed the book thoroughly!

The premise was excellent

This book started out rough with the introduction of the characters and I almost stopped. So glad I didn't. The charaters and story really grabbed my attention and I could not put this down. It has been a long time since I found a new author/series where I really enjoyed. If you are a fan of David Blake .JR. Ellis or Joy Ellis then you will love too. The the characters are a band of square pegs who really start to find their groove and confidence as the story and mystery unwinds. Just started the 2nd in the series and it qually is good too.

Highly recommend. Great Characters and story

Welp, apparently I’ve return too many this year (1) so I can’t return this even though I bought it with a credit. Since I couldn’t return it, I skipped to the end to see who the murderer was. Meh.

Pro tip, speeding it up to 1.2 made it a lot easier to listen to. At normal speed, it sounds like the narration has been slowed down. 1.2 sounds more like normal speaking cadence.

Speed it up for a better listening experiencd

So far the story seems ok. But it requires an ungodly amount of spit to pronounce the name of the police station. Makes me want to take my earbud out and dry it off.

Well….

Great sense of humour and Comaraderies amongst the characters, fast pace, actual investigation procedures, good use of language.

Comaraderies amongst the characters

The first book in a new series has to set the scene and introduce us to a new cast of characters. So I was a little iffy but enjoyed it enough to continue. I give this story five stars based on potential. Each book gets beter and is more interesting. Not a thriller, so avoid if that is what you are looking for. This series is family friendly for listening to in the car.

Just ordered Book three

My new favorite series featuring Norman Norman. The narrator brought him to life and I could picture it all in my mind..Good story but I really enjoyed the supporting characters and how they grew in confidence.

Fantastic Narrator
