About this listen

A twisted serial killer. A deadly game of cat and mouse. Can DI Ruth Hunter catch a crazed psychopath who seems intent on destroying her life?

DI Ruth Hunter hopes that settling in Snowdonia will melt away the grief of a missing partner. Burying herself in her work, she senses that her current missing persons case isn't all that it seems. When a man's body turns up torn to pieces, Ruth realizes that she is now tracking a deadly serial killer. Working with her fiercely patriotic Welsh partner, DI Hunter soon has a prime suspect in her sights - although he seems to always be one step ahead of them. When the killer begins to claim a personal connection to her, Ruth fears a grisly end to her and her family.

The Dee Valley Killings is the third book in the acclaimed DI Ruth Hunter Crime Thriller series. If you like dark, psychologically complex characters and a gripping roller coaster of a plot, then this book is for you.

Narrator and story excellent

I am working my way through this series. I have enjoyed them all - good stories and mostly good narration. I do enjoy the narrator’s voice and delivery but like so many others have commented, the pronunciation of Welsh place names in this series is very annoying. I could forgive difficulty with ‘ll’, ‘ch’ etc but the narrator seems to think that Welsh place names must always have the emphasis on the last syllable. Imagine listening to a book about London or Bristol and having the emphasis on the final syllable all the time. It surely can’t be too difficult to get it right.

Love this series

This had me gripped from the start. Incredibly creepy with twists and turns all over the place. It was hard to stop listening and this is my favourite of the series so far. Really good.

Favourite in the series

When you are listening to a book and you get that engrossed , you actually forget you are supposed to be eating food , you know it’s got you hooked .. Brilliantly written by Simon McCleave and narration by Deryn .. highly recommend

Yet another fantastic book

A good story to have on in the background. I think I’d get fed up with’Ruth’ if I was reading the book. Thank goodness our real female police officers aren’t as dozy as ‘Ruth’!

Another good story

I’ve listened to maybe too many of this authors books in quick succession. I never usually leave reviews but the ‘cut and paste’ from other books I’ve heard is abundant. Every car chase is disrupted by a slow moving vehicle. The prisoner escapes - lots of details that are repeated. If I was inclined to look I’m sure that either a tractor or a car/ lorry has stopped the car chase and allowed the suspect to escape in most if not all of the books I’ve read so far by this author… that’s 7 books to date. Only thing that keeps me listening is the background story and character of Ruth. One more book and if the cut and paste scenes return then I’ll have to move on.

The narrator is really good. Makes such a difference when the story is told well!
