Publisher's Summary

A car ferry leaves Dublin. The chief engineer lies dead. Can DI Drake catch the killer before the passengers disembark?

Dealing with the fallout from a difficult case, Welsh Inspector Ian Drake faces a deadly foe as well as counselling for his OCD. When a ferry arrives in port, he knows a killer is on board. Unable to trace the killer after the ship berths, he fears the worse.

Tension mounts when two more members of the crew are killed. When Drake’s cousin gets involved and he faces the implications of his father’s treatment for cancer, he struggles to face the challenges of tracking the killer. And links to a well-known criminal family make the inquiry even more demanding.

Can he catch the killer and avert more deaths?

Worse than Dead is the second book in the dynamic Inspector Drake crime series. If you like police procedurals, clever mysteries, and gripping thrillers, then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s unnerving whodunit.

Well written

This is the second book in the Inspector Drake series. This time, Drake finds himself trying to solve the murder of an engineer on the ferry between Wales and Ireland. He thinks it will be easy to do, after all there’s only a small group of suspects... it has to be someone on the ferry. What follows is a twisting tale of murder, drugs, and intrigue. Drake tries to keep himself in control, but even his home life makes him feel out of control.

Stephen Puleston delivers a well-crafted, in-depth story, combining a police officer with OCD issues and a job that is often quite chaotic. The narrator is an excellent choice.
