About this listen

Bestselling phenomenon Simon McCleave is back with another Anglesey-set gripping, crime thriller full of twists that will keep you guessing until the last page.

When a seventeen-year-old girl vanishes from her home overnight, DI Laura Hart knows that time is of the essence.

Then, an inmate at the local prison is murdered in her cell and suddenly Beaumaris CID is juggling two major investigations.

With inmates refusing to talk to the police, Laura is forced to take drastic action: going undercover behind bars.

With everyone under suspicion, Laura’s true identity must be kept a secret, meaning no one can protect her.

Locked in with a killer, it’s a race against time – can Laura find a lead… before she’s found out?

A pulse-pounding, atmospheric crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Perfect for fans of L.J. Ross, Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths and Val McDermid.

not badly narrated, but the mispronunciation of Beaumaris at least once every chapter was somewhat grating.

HAVE READ ALL THIS SERIES BUT THIS ONE WAS NOT UP TO THIS AUTHORS USUAL STANDARD. THE DATE, DAY AND TIME START TO EVERY CHAPTER WAS ANNOYING AND I SKIPPED MOST OF IT AND JUST LISTENED TO THE ENDING. WASTE OF A CREDIT.

DISAPPOINTING
