Summary
Bestselling phenomenon Simon McCleave is back with another gripping, atmospheric new crime thriller set on the Isle of Anglesey, Wales.
On a remote island, there’s nowhere to run…
When a teenage boy goes missing on a camping trip with his friends, the close-knit community of Anglesey is shaken. DI Laura Hart is brought in to lead the murder investigation and instantly feels the pressure, not least because her colleague’s son was the last to see the missing boy alive.
Laura’s investigations force her to delve into the tangled web of relationships and personal lives of her own neighbours. The trail leads her to uncover a religious cult called The Fair Men, who locals say have a dark history and still hold their ceremonies on the island where the boys were camping. But could it be that yet more secrets are hidden behind closed doors?
Amongst all the mysteries and lies, Laura is sure about one thing: the island will not give up the truth easily…
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 series!
The Anglesey series have been really enjoyable and swept me back in time to sunny summer days spent there. I love that Simon McCleave writes from the viewpoint of a mature woman and as one myself feel he really understands that older, more mature women still have hopes, dreams and desires that they had in their younger days. He really is an extremely good observer of character.
The narrator of this series has a great range of accents which she puts to excellent use. However the mispronounced words were somewhat irritating and having listened all four books so far back to back it still hard to hear Beaumaris said as Bewmaris, rather than Bowmaris. There were lots of other none place-name slip ups too, which could be overlooked if the main slip ups were not so irritating!
