John Nicholl

The start of a dark edge-of-your-seat crime series from UK Top 50 bestselling author John Nicholl
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. If you loved The Housemaid, The Girl on the Train, and The Couple at No.9 then you're bound to enjoy this chilling series.
