An exceptionally good mystery from Wales' best up-and-coming talent!
A body is found in a dark and dingy tunnel at the bottom of Dinas Rock, the site of a disused mine. There is no sign of struggle...
Detective Inspector Winter Meadows suspects the victim, youth worker David Harris, willingly reached the location where he met his end. He must have known his killer.
But he must have known something else, too. Meadows discovers that Dinas Rock has a history of tragedy. Years ago a teenage girl met her end there, and Harris was present.
As Meadows investigates the old case alongside the new, he opens old wounds. Ones that have festered for years. Can he find the killer before the inquiry forces them to strike again?
LIES OF MINE is the fifth standalone title in a series of murder mysteries featuring DI Winter Meadows by best-selling author Cheryl Rees-Price.
There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered?
DI Winter Meadows has no doubt of the answer when he takes on the case. The crime was violent. The victim helpless. But the motives are many, and the only clue is a strange word left on Stacey's body.
DI Meadows struggles to pierce the secrecy surrounding the teenager's busy love life. Was the killer one of her pursuers acting out of jealousy? Maybe someone's wife seeking revenge?
But as each suspect is excluded from the enquiry, and other markings turn up, Meadows is convinced that something more sinister is afoot.
When another body is found, a veil of silence descends like a fog upon Gaer Fawr. What more will it take for the village to give up its secrets?

SUFFER THE CHILDREN is the third audiobook by Welsh crime writer Cheryl Rees-Price to feature Detective Inspector Winter Meadows.
When Natalie Benyon's eighteen-month-old daughter Ella disappears from a housing estate, the police and local community act quickly to organise a search. Given the age of the child, once the local area is scoured, DI Winter Meadows draws the frightening conclusion that Ella has been abducted. The attention of the police focuses on the family itself: the lifestyle of the mother, the boyfriend, the raucous party they had the night before Ella's disappearance. And a search in their garden reveals a chilling discovery that turns the case upside down and sends a shockwave through the community. All of a sudden Meadows has a murder case on his hands - one that threatens to side-line the search for Ella. Can the detective join up the dots, solve the case and find the child?

Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend's death. DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case.
