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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollects eleven books (12-22) from the popular DI Ruth Hunter detective series in one convenient set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtmospheric North Wales and border settings, including Chirk Castle, Portmeirion, Llandudno, and Denbigh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, twist-filled police procedurals ideal for fans of British crime fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback condition, ready to read or gift immediately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach book is a complete standalone mystery, perfect for dipping in anywhere in the run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat value way to catch up on a long-running, highly rated crime series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Chirk Castle Killings — A DI Ruth Hunter investigation set in and around the historic grounds of Chirk Castle on the Welsh border.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Portmeirion — A case that draws Ruth Hunter to the famously picturesque Italianate village of Portmeirion in North Wales.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Llandudno Pier — A mystery unfolding along the Victorian seafront and pier of the North Wales resort town of Llandudno.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Denbigh Asylum — An investigation centered on the atmospheric, long-closed former asylum buildings in Denbigh.\u003cbr\u003e\nWrexham — A DI Ruth Hunter case set against the backdrop of the North Wales town of Wrexham.\u003cbr\u003e\nColwyn Bay — A fresh investigation for Ruth Hunter along the North Wales coastline at Colwyn Bay.\u003cbr\u003e\nChester — A case that takes the investigation across the border into the historic city of Chester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimon McCleave is a British novelist best known for his long-running DI Ruth Hunter crime series, set largely in North Wales, where many locations are drawn directly from the region's castles, coastal towns, and countryside.
