Summary

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?

Wrong accent

My only gripe with the book is that the narrator hasn’t mastered the distinctive Welsh accent of the region, and instead, uses a more South Wales inflection. Holyhead in particular has it’s own accent.

Dreadful narration

Story was Ok. Narration was awful. I could forgive South Wales accent instead of North but all characters sounded the same.

Disappointing

I'm not certain whether the characters lacked depth or that was the impression left by the narrator - but I won't be following the series either way.
