Rhys Dylan lives on the edge of the Black mountains of Wales with his wife and a dog who doesn't like the rain.
Though he has written books for children and adults under different pen names in other genres, the Black Beacons Murder Mystery series sees him return to crime and his love of Celtic noir and dark humour.
He hopes readers will find a brief escape from a very troubled world inside the stories. He does not expect to get rich as an author, but as someone once famously said, money can't buy you love, but it can get you some great chocolate digestives.

No spoilers, but…
I’m just going to say “finally” and leave it at that. 😉
And yes, I’ve already pre-ordered the next book!

Mr Dylan captivates his audience with thrilling plots, plot twists, & dry humor. His cast of characters are all interesting in their own right, but as a group they are a family that has each other’s backs. Mystery abounds, but the fun & jokes are lively. Reading about all of them is like welcoming friends back with each novel. Mr Dylan has serious writing chops. I’ve already ordered the next. You should read the series. It doesn’t disappoint.

Good plot
I love these Black Beacons mysteries. I grew up in South Wales but no longer live there, but I know most of the places mentioned- and can pronounce them. I am an avid mystery novel and tv fan so I was a bit disappointed that ‘whodunnit’ was a bit obvious from near the start. I feel a little less banter wouldn’t go amiss in future stories and also maybe a new character introduced into the team. I will continue to read the series and can recommend to those who like cozy mysteries

This is another cracker. The team investigate when a man dies and they are brought into the world of drug smuggling., in particular fentanyl. There's a few twists here especially when someone else dies, which totally threw me. As usual, there's plenty of humour throughout and some surprises on some personal fronts which made for an even more pleasurable read.

What we’ve all been waiting for! Did not disappoint 😆

Fabulous
This series continues to go from strength to strength. A joy to read. The team is so strong, focused, the humour and enthusiasm that they have for what they do is amazing. Best series ever.

Great series with endearing characters.

I did enjoy this novel but not as much as some of Rhys’ other ones. That’s just me. Enjoyed the fact that Evan & Jesse finally got it together. I think we all saw that coming. Also that Catran & Craig’s wish came true. A little romance goes a long way. Maybe Gina & Rhys will be next? Interesting plot but somehow I knew who the bad guy was from very early on. Looking forward to the next one out in Jan./25. I believe I have read them all. Must be a fan!

Review of Dragon’s Breathe by Rhys Dylan
Rhys Dylan once again proves his mastery of atmospheric crime fiction with Dragon’s Breathe—a brooding, suspenseful, and utterly gripping entry in the DCI Evan Warlow series. This installment is not only rich in tension but layered with emotional complexity, as it peels back the shadows haunting both the Welsh landscape and its people.
The novel begins with a chilling discovery: a body found amid the ruins of a burned-out cottage deep in the Black Mountains. What seems at first like a tragic accident soon unfurls into a complex web of secrets, betrayal, and old wounds. The fire becomes a symbol of something far darker—rekindled grudges and truths long buried. Dylan is at his best weaving mystery and menace into the rural Welsh setting, making the landscape feel like a character in itself: both beautiful and brutal, ancient and unforgiving.
DCI Evan Warlow is, as always, a compelling protagonist. Haunted by past cases and personal loss, Warlow walks the delicate line between justice and emotional detachment. His moral compass, quiet intelligence, and dry wit make him a figure of steady resilience amid chaos. In Dragon’s Breathe, we see more of his internal struggle, and it deepens his character without ever overshadowing the case at hand.
Supporting characters like DS Leah Bishop and the rest of Warlow’s team continue to grow, with dynamic chemistry and personal subplots that add richness and humanity to the procedural framework. Dylan also gives voice to several villagers—some suspects, some victims—each drawn with empathy and realism. No one is caricatured, and everyone has something to hide.
The pacing is slow-burn in the best sense: methodical, tense, and never dull. Dylan’s prose is lean but poetic, especially when describing the stark beauty of the Welsh countryside. Twists are doled out with precision, and by the final reveal, the sense of dread has built to a roaring crescendo.
What makes Dragon’s Breathe stand out in the crowded field of British crime fiction is Dylan’s unique blend of lyrical storytelling, psychological depth, and an unflinching look at grief, guilt, and the lengths people will go to protect their own. It’s not just about solving a crime—it’s about understanding the scars that linger in its aftermath.
A triumph of setting, character, and plot, Dragon’s Breathe cements Rhys Dylan as one of the most compelling voices in modern detective fiction. Highly recommended for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter May, or Jane Casey—this is crime writing with both heart and bite.

Book 14 in the DCI Warlow, A Black Beacon's Murder Mystery, Series and it’s good to be back with these familiar characters. Marc and Emyr Dobbs are found in the Black Mountain, suffering with degrees of hypothermia, Marc died but Emyr recovers in hospital. However, the post mortem revealed extensive injuries, consistent with torture, on Marc’s body, albeit not the cause of his death. The team have a very suspicious death to investigate. As always this is a well written and well plotted story with just the right amount of personal life in amongst the police procedural/crime elements.
Briefly, the more the team investigate, the wider the net is cast, and the more suspects rear their heads. It appears that drug dealing may be involved when traces are found at the dead man’s home. Meanwhile, the team are all getting on with life, with births, deaths and marriage all in evidence they are keeping busy!
I just love this team of people. The author has put together a group that you can’t help but love. I normally single out Rhys as, despite being the butt of everybody’s jokes, he’s just such a lovely gentle caring man but this time there is another event that I can’t discuss (spoiler) that even overshadowed the lovely Rhys. And about flipping time too! And in case anyone thinks I forgotten Cadi, of course I haven’t, always my favourite character. A very enjoyable and entertaining read, as well as satisfying conclusion to the crimes there are some wonderful personal revelations. I genuinely can’t wait for the next book.

I can't believe that we are on book fourteen in the DCI Warlow series, and may they long continue to enthrall the readers!
Whenever I know that there is a new book on the horizon, it feels me with that hot chocolate in front of the fire feeling with all the family around.
It's always wonderful to spend time with Evan and the team, especially when Gil breaks open the 'human organ transplant box'!
But as much as I love a get-together, it's always the dark and often disturbing storyline that author Rhys comes up with to keep me completely hooked.
Marc and Emyr Dobbs find themselves in an unprecedented situation, stranded with a storm raging around them on the Black Mountains in Wales. But one of them should never have been there in the first place.
When Evan and the team get the call, nothing is as it seems and the plot just thickness. We have kids, secrets and mistrust.
Throw in kidnap, torture, murder, mayhem and drugs into the mix then you know what the team are up against.
Yet another brilliantly crafted piece of writing from one of the best authors around.

Well it was about time. Should have happened about five or six books ago. But whatever.
This one was interesting, and I have to admit I figured it out early on because I once knew somebody who did the same kind of thing though for a totally different purpose (humanitarian vs. self-aggrandizing). Certain hints rang a bunch of bells for me and I was happy to see I was right! I won't go into it so I don't spoil it. It's so sad that Leah and her daughter lost their dad.
The little side mystery courtesy of Denise is interesting.
What's making me a little crazed in having to be so patient and wait for months for the next book in the series. The first dozen I was able to read one after the other because I just discovered Dylan about a year or so ago. Now I've caught up, dang. But it's been fun planning my work and leisure time around the publication data of the next one (I'm semi-retired, so I get to do that). But reading 14 took me a quite while because I am in the middle of a huge project, so a lot less retired but an interesting project building new online stores.

It’s difficult to believe that Dragon’s Breath is the 14th in this fantastic Evan Warlow series.
This time Evan and his team are thrust into the heart of a dangerous situation involving drug trafficking, death and long held grudges. It’s a fast paced book which I found almost impossible to put down once I’d started reading. There’s plenty of twists and turns as it seems almost everyone has something to hide. As ever, the humour is brilliant and I loved how the storm revealed something I’d been hoping and waiting for for a long time. But against the darkness of this story, there was also a beautiful side story which had me both smiling and crying simultaneously.
I don’t know how Rhys does it but once again he has written a compelling and addictive read. And if you haven’t read any of this series yet, then why not? Your reading life will be all the more richer for meeting Evan, Jess, Gil and the rest of this awesome team.

September 14, 2024Dragon's breath, book 14 in the DCI Warlow series by Rhys Dylan is published on 8 October. Marc and Emyr Dobbs are found severely hypothermic, and are evacuated from the heart of the Black Mountains in Wales. The repercussions of their previous case are also still being felt. I love reading about Molly, Jess's daughter, as she moves on to the next stage of her life and how it affects her Mum. Rhys and Gil are both wonderful characters with an unusual sense of humour, and different ways of looking at the world. And then there is Evan. He is such a genuinely lovely man, so kind and empathetic. The series has reached a terrific stage in the characters' lives. Having followed them from the beginning, it has been fascinating watching their connections and relationships within the team and without as well. The writing is superb and draws the reader into the lives of the characters.

Love this series!
When reading a series I rarely write a review of each book. I felt like it was time to put in my two cents worth.
This series is a delight to read. The character development drags the reader into their lives, both personal and work. They get involved in some pretty horrific crimes, with the author keeping the gore factor palatable. There is laughter, tears, anger and remorse interwoven in the lives of this group of detectives. The one liners, puns and dad jokes are fun, although on occasion overdone. Still, very enjoyable reads.
In this book, the love of brothers, greed and fear are interwoven. The very serious and real world of knock off drugs and their abuse is key in this story of friendship and betrayal. The ending has a twist you don't see coming. Strap in for a crazy ride.

Another complex and fascinating murder mystery plot. The setting in Wales is icing on the cake, as are the continuing characters. I loved that this book had lots of great updates on the police force and the lives of the characters. The clues and the red herrings are given to the reader with good pacing and build the suspense and intrigue. There is also good humor and banter between the officers, especially Gil and Rhys. I would guess that while solving a grim crime that humor helps to break up the horror. DCI Warlow is a complicated and at times philosophical character with a great dog. There are Welsh words and names but they are translated for the reader. My only negative is that the author uses a lot of abbreviations and terms that are not explained too well.

A devious killer is abroad. One that cares for nothing other than their own twisted greed. The dragon's breath taints everything it touches.
Another brilliant read from Rhys Dylan. DCI Warlow at his best. Enjoy that its set in Wales as that's where I'm from. Intriguing, exciting storyline that grips from the very beginning. I am however, finding the dad jokes very wearing as they are becoming too numerous. Still a very enjoyable police procedural. Looking forward to the next.

Superb series!
I cannot believe I have finished (for the time until book 15 is released.) I have read this series back to back, finishing one then downloading the next. Such fabulous story telling with wonderful characters that you easily related to. The star characters for me without doubt DS Gill and DC Rhys. Such wonderful banter between the two and a very homely feel to the whole team. Some complex plots very well investigationed and always with an unexpected ending. Highly recommend and cannot wait to find out what DCI Warlow stumbles on in book 15. Huge fan BP Sheffield.

Whenever a new instalment of this series arrives, I drop everything else I am reading to head to Wales and join DCI Evan Warlow's team whose characters have become old friends to me over the past 18 months since I discovered the series. The mountain rescue team are called to retrieve a man who has gotten lost in a storm on a Welsh mountain side, but his last words point to a kidnapping gone wrong. The team is stumped as the few available leads point to a drug connection, but little progress is made. I thoroughly enjoy each one of this series, can't wait for the next one.

WELSH HILLS
Another fabulous story from an author at his best, I really like the way that he makes the team of detectives gel with plenty of jokes, which from my points of view make me laugh.
At long last Evan and Jess have come together, long may it last.
Considering the macabre storyline is a testament to his way that he intertwines everything into a very believable book.
Well recommended book, best to read the whole series, it makes sense. Really looking forward to the next book in the series in January next year.

Another thriller, with lots of entertaining puns.
is the latest book by Rhys Dylan in his excellent series of the exploits of DCI Evan Warlow and his team of detectives.
An already troubling case of a dead body takes a turn for the worse when when other victims are found, all showing the same cause of death.
This is so much more than a police procedural, with lots of development of the various regular characters and the puns. They really lift the tension with their sometimes black humour, but do not detract from the story.
Rhys Dylan has done it again. Top marks.

I loved this one. Better than the previous one I thought.
The author has a finely developed skill in really bringing out the personalities of his characters. I love the banter between the team members and the security they seem to feel with each other. I can relate to the banter because it is familiar to me as a kiwi. I had a feeling that the hoped for would happen not it remains to be seen how this develops.
Looking forward to being immersed in the Welsh countryside and mountains again as I begin his next book. Loving the series so much.

I think what I love best about this series is the very real sense of Wales throughout. I've read other mysteries from British authors which could just as easily have taken place in any part of the UK, or even the US for that matter. Dylan not only works in the scenery, but the language as well, to the point that the country is almost another character. Speaking of which, his characters are vibrant and alive: he makes me feel like I know them and, more importantly, care about them.

another block in the continuing construction
Having read each novel in the series , the feeling of reality increases. The cases are convoluted and difficult but solved. For me it the the realness of the characters that drive the series. They become more human in each book and connection to one another more believes le. They spring from the page into the reader’s mind and make the book give the reader true enjoyment.

A "must read" for crime fiction fans.
I say crime fiction, but there are a lot of factual references to do with the crimes, the people and the places. As a local resident I know many of the places, but apart from that, the story has some odd twists and not a few surprises. Drugs and dealers play a part, and like most places these days, there's plenty of that goes on around here, sadly. But that may not be quite the way this story goes.

DCI Warlow and team are back!
This series has its hooks in me and I'm no where near struggling to get off. I love the characters and Mr. Dylan has never wavered in their traits or what motivates them. It's one thing I appreciate, they have become real to me and I would be very disappointed to find they were as fickle as some authors write their people to be.
I look forward to another Welsh adventure and I would welcome more of the kind.the

Absolutely bloody brilliant!
For me, this one tidied up lots of little trailing bits from previous books, mostly to do with the back story, which I personally enjoy just as much as the main plot of the novel and this was certainly true of this one!
Really enjoyed it, so much that I had to keep slowing down my reading to make it last.
Thanks so much Mr Dylan. Can’t wait for the next one!

As good as it gets.
As the saga continues to unfold, Evans past and present twists and turns with ever winding plots and crime thrown in. A relationship unfolding amongst the whimsical and sometimes dramatic characters he works with. All the players have faces, names and lifestyles that have become familiar in the continuing crime drama located in the beauty of the Welsh country side. Can't wait for the next Evan endeavor.

Wonderful spending time with Evan, Jess, Gil, Rhys and the rest of the team. We get to know some of a little better and it’s great to see the characters evolving. Gil’s humour helps release some of the tension. I was kept guessing whodunnit until near the end. A terrific series with a great cast of characters and interesting stories behind the murders. Highly recommend.

The team learns that two brothers were found in a remote location, and one of them is dead. Was the deceased kidnapped, and by whom? When several more deaths are revealed, it’s apparent that fentanyl, aka dragon’s breath, was involved. Catrin makes a decision, and there are changes for Evan as well.
