About this listen

A murdered millionaire. A violent drug operation. Can a detective with a haunted past stop the next assassination?

Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter is still struggling to deal with her stress. So when the body of a businessman washes up on a secluded North Wales shore, the former London cop is anxious to prove she can lead the local investigative team and nail the killer. But as she digs into the dead millionaire’s business affairs, DI Hunter discovers a disturbing link to an infamous Liverpudlian drug lord....

Tracking down clues alongside a hot-headed partner, she worries his private vendetta could seriously jeopardize bringing the gangster to justice. And between botched raids, tight-lipped suspects, and a slew of cold case murders, she’s sure the criminal mastermind must have corrupt players in his pocket...Can Hunter take down the mobster before he orders a highly personal hit?

The Harlech Beach Killings is the second book in the suspenseful Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller series. If you like chilling police procedurals, true-to-life characters, and psychological twists, then you’ll love Simon McCleave’s pause-resisting thrill ride.

Great characters.

The story was a little slow this time compared to the previous one in the series. Still a good read though.

Excellent….

Really enjoying this series so far & loving Simon McCleave’s writing style - the characters backstories are starting to be revealed and relationships are starting to develop now. Deryn Edwards is such a talented narrator too and her fast pace change of accents is second to none! I have just bought the next book in the series….

Good read

Just one complaint it is a pity the narrator can't pronounce the Welsh words properly, it would have been a good idea to have a Welsh speaker to narrate the book after all there are plenty of Welsh speakers about.
