About this listen

A powerful and emotional listen. The Anglesey Murders series is the audiobook thriller of 2021.

DI Alan Williams is called to the recovery of two bodies from the sea at Trearddur Bay, during a storm. The lifeboat crew suspect they're fishermen, washed away by a wave, but they’re wrong. Alan and his detective sergeant, Kim Davies, realise the men were beaten and tied together before they entered the water. Two miles along the headland at Porth Dafarch, a third victim is found but there are no obvious links. As the number of victims increases, a major investigation team battles to unravel a deadly puzzle that appears to have links to a series of historic murders from the '90s. Is there a copycat on the loose, or are the murders connected to the local underworld, which controls the supply of narcotics across North Wales and the North West?

Enjoyed the book but found it ruined by the word “said” keep being repeated and used when it wasn’t necessary

Word repeat

I love these titles but they are spoilt with so many he said she said 🫣 there was a few parts I laughed aloud, some parts did sound like I was listening to a grown ups version of fireman sam 🤣

The story

Good storyline throughout book and good narration Interesting as I do not know that part of the world but brought it to life Will look for more by this author

Excellent read

whilst the story is good, the written word is dreadful - makes me want to ban the words he/said from the English language, it detracted from the quality of narration and the listening slots.
I persevered a) because it was a free listen and b) it was a reasonable story

dreadfully written

A well detailed story with good local knowledge of all locations added to a reasonable plot. Spoke interesting characters. Look forward to the next episode.

Interesting and immersive

Not too keen on pronunciation use. As someone born and bread on Anglesey feel some pronunciation was more South Wales, like the word here as an example. The other issue for me is that it's a bit too gruesome.

Liked the narrative and the interesting characters, although it was as bit confusing at times

Complicated story line with lots of twists

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The narrator was not very good at the Welsh words, Dafydd is pronounced Davith, not David. Also he was not good at changing voices, so it was quite hard to work out who was who.
And sadly the writing of conversation was not very skillful, an awful lot of "he said" ......"she said......."he said ".......A bit clumsy.

Good story, rather spoiled by the narrator

I really enjoyed this it was fast paced and held interest right until the end where it feels the story was rushed unnecessarily just to finish so a disappointing end to a good readn

gear story weak ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I enjoyed the complicated story lines all coming together towards the end. I found the main characters mostly credible and I liked the juxtaposition of regular homelife with police procedures dealing with the grisly underbelly. The island and small towns location gave an added dimension allowing for familiarity in the sharing of information. It sounded more South Wales than Anglesey but I will listen to another.

Tiny island coolly facing big over the top crimes
