About this listen

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

‘An intriguing crime thriller’ The Sun

‘Full of twists and with plenty of atmosphere.’ – Million-copy bestseller Faith Martin

Some secrets should stay buried for ever…

Two months since ex-Police Negotiator Laura Hart was forced back into action after her son’s kidnap, she has re-joined the force as a DI. On her first day, an anonymous tip-off leads to the discovery of a skeleton in a crumbling castle ruin near the seaside town of Beaumaris, Anglesey.

Laura can’t wait to prove herself by solving the case and when the investigation leads her to MI5 and the Real IRA, she knows she’s on the trail of something truly explosive.

But some people will do anything to stop their secrets coming out – as the rising body count shows. With the threat drawing in and her family yet again in danger, this time, is Laura in too deep?

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 .

Great story and characters but god it was irritating that it was narrated throughout by someone who seemed to have a heavy cold! Horrible to listen to but had to carry on to see what happened. Go home and have a Lemsip!!!

She needs to blow her nose!!!

I enjoyed the first book in this series, and this second book is even better! Laura Hart is now back in the police force as a DI on the island of Anglesey. Her first case is the investigation of bones found in a shallow grave.

The book is intelligently written, fast paced and well plotted. There are several twists along the way that I absolutely did not see coming! I liked that as well as the present day setting of Anglesey we are also taken back to 1980/s/90s Northern Ireland against a backdrop of 'The Troubles', which I found really interesting. DI Hart is a fantastic character with an interesting back story which continues into the present. I love the way she talks to her dead husband, and am always a fan of a cute dog in a story, and so love Elvis the Bernese Mountain dog.

I loved the narration by Alice White.

Fab crime thriller

Would have preferred the narrator, who read well, not to have been struggling due to what sounded like a very heavy cold. The story was good tho I don’t like jumping from one location to another and leaps backwards and forwards in time

Enjoyable
