The Mumbles Town Murders
(2026)(The fifth book in the Detective Inspector Caren Waits series)
A novel by Stephen Puleston
One murder is just the beginning.
When Detective Inspector Caren Waits is called to a grim Mumbles alley, she expects another routine case. Instead, she finds the body of Peter Brown, a celebrated barrister with a spotless public image—and a past steeped in secrets. A single clue, a Velvet Lantern nightclub matchbook, is all that connects his polished life to the squalid scene of his death.
As Caren digs deeper, the elegant façade of Swansea’s elite begins to crumble. Brown’s ruthless business deals, his fractured family, and his powerful friends all hide something dangerous. Then a second body appears—journalist Sophie Kirkwood, killed in the same chilling way.
Now, with the truth closing in, Caren must stop a killer driven by vengeance before another life is claimed. Gripping, atmospheric, and layered with moral tension, The Mumbles Town Murders is a darkly compelling crime thriller about revenge, corruption, and the thin line between justice and obsession.
Perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, Rhys Dylan and Rachel McLean.
