The Snowdonia Killings

A DI Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller, Book 1

De: Simon McCleave

Narrado por: Deryn Edwards

Starting a new life in Snowdonia was always DI Ruth Hunter's dream. Until a twisted killer turned it into her worst nightmare.

Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter lives with the pain of her partner’s mysterious and unsolved disappearance. About to hit 50, the veteran police officer trades in the crime-ridden streets of London for a more peaceful life in rural North Wales. But Ruth has barely settled into her new position in North Wales Police, when the body of a brutally murdered woman is discovered...with strange symbols carved into her skin. Teaming up with an obstinate deputy, Ruth struggles to eliminate anyone from a long line of suspects. When another slain victim is discovered with the same cryptic markings, she’s forced to re-think the investigation.

Has Ruth got what it takes to solve the case before the murderer attacks again?

The Snowdonia Killings is the first book in the DI Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller series and set against the majestic backdrop of Snowdonia, a timeless land of Arthurian legend, folklore, and myth. If you like dark police procedurals, psychologically complex characters, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Simon McCleave’s pulse-pounding debut novel.

Character of DI Hunter

I liked the unique setting and the main character’s initial impressions of Wales and her new Welsh associates.

Great but censored?!?!

I’ve wanted a UK crime noir type book set in Wales for awhile now and was happy to come across this book but why, WHY, was it censored. Racial slurs are bad but if they’re relevant to the story, then let them be. I don’t need anyone deciding what I should or should not hear. Shame on Audible, the production company, narrator, and/author for allowing this to happen.

Censored?

Good story and very good performance, but the recording is odd. Sometimes it repeats, going back 1 or 2 seconds. And I have never heard an audiobook recording where profanity and racial slurs are censored out with electronic tones. It’s a little strange.

Super Enjoyed this Book !!

I previously received the prequel to this book from the Author for free and fell off in loved Ruth in her Younger years! What a Kick she is!!
Great Story and Characters and I just Love the Narrator!! Can't wait for more!!

I really love these books!

I’m doing a reread and a relisten to the whole series now that the 18th book has come out. I enjoyed this just as much the second time around as the first time around. Great series!
