About the Books
Simon McCleave's DI Ruth Hunter series has built a devoted following for its blend of tightly plotted police procedurals and the moody landscapes of Snowdonia and North Wales. This collection gathers seven consecutive entries in Ruth's ongoing story, as she continues to rebuild her life in Llancastell while carrying the unresolved weight of her missing ex-partner Sarah, who vanished years earlier from a London train station. Each novel presents a fresh, self-contained case, from a young couple caught in a web of abuse and deception near the Menai Bridge, to the murder of a popular rugby coach in Conwy that exposes a community's hidden lies, to a chilling discovery of dismembered remains at Lake Vyrnwy that leaves Ruth and her team with almost nothing to go on. A fatal shooting at the tourist landmark of Chirk Castle draws Ruth into another tense investigation, while further installments take her and DS Nick Evans to new settings tied to the River Seine and the North Wales coastal towns of Portmeirion and Llandudno. Throughout, McCleave balances twisty, well-clued mysteries with an ongoing emotional arc, deepening Ruth's personal history and the relationships within her investigative team. Readers who enjoy character-driven British police procedurals will find a compulsive read here, wrapped in the strong sense of place that has become the series' trademark. This ongoing continuity is part of what keeps longtime fans coming back.
