Bestselling phenomenon Simon McCleave is back with a gripping, atmospheric new crime thriller series set on the Isle of Anglesey.

Knocked my socks off. McCleave knows how to leave you gasping for air. Absolutely thrilling!’ International million-copy bestseller, Helen Fields

The beautiful Isle of Anglesey has been rocked by the brutal murders of three female students at a local college. DI Laura Hart is called in to track down the murderer – who the papers have dubbed the Anglesey Ripper – before he strikes again.

She quickly identifies a suspect but just as she is about to pounce, he slips through her fingers.

Laura and the Beaumaris CID must pursue the serial killer across the island in an increasingly dangerous game of cat and mouse – but he’s always one step ahead of them. And soon, the hunters will become the hunted…

An explosive, edge-of-your-seat read that’s perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.

I enjoy these books and the cliffhangers have kept me coming back for more. I had to skip a few chapters of this due to what happened to Rosie- I’m very claustrophobic and couldn’t listen but managed the final few chapters.
Characters are good and narration is good although a bit nasal in parts.

Fell for the cliffhanger twice

I really liked the previous books however it’s a bit predictable husband in the first son in the second daughter in the 3rd whose going to be in trouble in the 4th sister or boyfriend? It’s a shame because the story doesn’t need these family connections in trouble ( apart from the husband) much more believable if those in trouble were strangers after all she is a detective.

Bit predictable

Wow this series is going from strength to strength. The narrator is superb. I love how each book ends on a cliffhanger. Highly recommend this series, I binged listened. Can’t wait to get the next one
