About this listen

When a London journalist is run off the road and killed, it seems that his death might be linked to his investigation into plans for a nuclear plant. Is the murder linked to an American power company with a dark past who want to bury the story? There are also locals who stand to make millions from the plant’s construction. However, it soon appears there might be an event in Jake’s past that might provide the clue.

Another murder throws the case on its head, and Ruth and her team are struggling to find the killer with a motive to kill both victims. With time running out, Ruth realizes that the clue to both murders might lie in a bitter dispute from 20 years earlier.

The Portmeirion Killings is the 13th book in the DI Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller Snowdonia series. If you like chilling police procedurals, true-to-life characters, and psychological twists, then you’ll love Simon McCleave’s thrill ride.

I really enjoy all Simon McCleave books but some of the accents the narrator ‘tries’ are terrible!! The American has to be the worst of all the books so far.

Great story…shame about some of the narration
