Set across the dramatic landscapes of North Wales and the English-Welsh border, from Chirk Castle to Portmeirion, Llandudno, Denbigh, Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, and Chester, these page-turning mysteries blend atmospheric setting with twisting plots. Fans of fast-paced British detective fiction will find hours of brand-new reading in this brand new paperback set, perfect for binge-reading an established crime series from the middle onward.

About the Books
This collection brings together eleven installments from Simon McCleave's popular DI Ruth Hunter series, published by Canelo Crime, covering books twelve through twenty-two of the long-running procedural run. Each novel follows Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter as she investigates fresh cases of murder, conspiracy, and buried secrets across the towns, coastlines, and countryside of North Wales and the nearby English border. McCleave is known for grounding his mysteries in real, richly described locations, and this set is no exception: readers travel from the medieval battlements of Chirk Castle to the surreal Italianate village of Portmeirion, the windswept Llandudno Pier, the shuttered wards of the old Denbigh Asylum, and the busy streets of Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, and Chester. Each book stands as a self-contained mystery while contributing to Ruth Hunter's ongoing personal story, making this an ideal way for both longtime fans catching up on the series and new readers who enjoy jumping into a well-established detective's world. The tone throughout is fast-moving and twist-driven, with McCleave balancing police procedure, forensic detail, and small-town atmosphere against a backdrop of genuine Welsh history and geography. Readers who enjoy authors like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, or Faith Martin will recognize the same blend of location-driven plotting and relentless pacing here. This brand-new paperback set offers excellent value for readers wanting to work through a substantial run of the series in one purchase, whether as a personal reading project or a thoughtful gift for the crime fiction fan in your life.
