About this listen

A fatal shooting. A vulnerable eyewitness. DI Ruth Hunter and her partner, DS Nick Evans, must track down the killers before they find a key witness—a 10-year-old boy, Daniel.

Ruth and Nick are called to a fatal shooting at Chirk Castle, a well-known tourist spot in North Wales. The only witness to the murder is Daniel, the 10-year-old son of the victim. Ruth discovers that the victim was a small-time drug dealer and it seems that his killing might be linked to stolen drugs. However, when a local girl is also brutally murdered, Ruth has to change the focus of the investigation as it is clear that the murderers will go to any lengths to cover their tracks.

With the case now faltering, Ruth begins to suspect that the key to solving the murders actually lies in Daniel’s early childhood. Can she unlock the dark secrets of Daniel’s past before the killers catch up with him?

The Chirk Castle Killings is the 12th book in the DI Ruth Hunter Murder Case Snowdonia series. If you like chilling police procedurals, true-to-life characters, and psychological twists, then you’ll love Simon McCleave’s thrill ride.

Narration!!!

The narrator had a pleasant voice but was, like so many other, unable to characterise men’s voices. I do wish whoever picks the narrator would pay attention to what so many reviews say - spoilt by the narrator, it shouldn’t be so

I was wrong!

I am a local born (75 years ago) lad and ex-police was prepared to find fault but really enjoyed this book, I am now prepared to start from the 1st book in the series.

Another brilliant book

I’m so loving this whole series .. superbly written .. fantastic storylines and great narration

Usually end up being a total rollercoaster of emotions , but that is probably added due to me listening to one book and straight onto the next so now the whole team feel like great friends of mine . I’m just hoping there’s not a long gap till the next book is published , as I only have one more to listen to .. Highly recommend all of Simon’s books
