Overview
The DI Ruth Hunter Series 18-22 Collection gathers five consecutive entries in Simon McCleave's North Wales crime saga into one brand-new paperback set. From canal-side murders in Chester to a shooting near Llangollen, cross-border cases on the Wirral, a family tragedy in Abersoch, and a politically charged killing near Bala Lake, this bundle delivers five atmospheric, tightly plotted procedurals following Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter and her team as they hunt some of North Wales and Merseyside's most dangerous criminals across five gripping cases.

About the Books
This five-book paperback collection continues the story of DI Ruth Hunter, a seasoned detective who left South London policing for what she hoped would be a quieter life in North Wales, only to find herself immersed in one brutal case after another. In The Chester Killings, a serial murderer leaves victims strewn along the historic city's canals, forcing Ruth's team into a race against time. The Llangollen Killings sends her into farming country to investigate the shooting death of a local farmer, while The Wirral Killings pushes Ruth across the border to partner with Merseyside Police after a Wrexham businessman is found dead in Heswall. The Abersoch Killings opens on a joyful family wedding at a beachside mansion that spirals into tragedy, testing Ruth's instincts amid wealth and closely guarded secrets. Finally, The Bala Lake Killings sees Ruth and DS Nick Evans confront a far-right extremist gang after a local MP is murdered in Snowdonia. Across all five novels, McCleave weaves authentic North Wales and Merseyside settings into every investigation, giving readers a genuine sense of place alongside twisting, procedural plots. This set is ideal for readers working through the series in order, or anyone discovering it for the first time who wants an immersive, binge-ready run of five consecutive books to enjoy.
