This is book one of the Anglesey Crime thriller series. It had me on the edge of my seat. Fast paced and great characters. Excited for book 2.

EadieB Can she lay to rest the ghosts of her past in time to save her son? This is the first book of the Anglesey Series. It has a well crafted set of characters and a plot that is cleverly written. The twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end. If you love action thrillers then you will love this one. I would like to thank NetGalley and Avon Books UK for a copy for an honest review. 3y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 3y

Andrew65 Was a good ride through Anglesey! 3y

EadieB @Andrew65 Yes it surely was! 3y

A drug gig goes badly wrong, and ends up being a hostage situation. Very in-depth story filled with triggers and emotion. Could have been shorter. Looking forward to the next book in this new series.

First book finished for #AwesomeApril

Following a personal tragedy from her time as a police officer in Manchester Laura leaves the police force and moves back to Anglesey with her children. However growing events are to put her family at risk once more and take her right back into the thick of police action whether she likes it or not.

Andrew65 What starts out quite gently as a quiet day in Beaumaris on the peaceful island of Anglesey, where a class of children, involving Laura‘s son, are about to go on a boat trip to Puffin Island to look at the wildlife, soon descends into life threatening situations. 3y

Andrew65 This book quickly grabs you as you can almost feel, see and smell what is about to happen to all those on the boat trip following a drugs drop that goes wrong. Suddenly events unravel and you just cannot put the book down as a rollercoaster ride of tension, intrigue and suspense unfolds as the pages turn. I love the way Simon kept this tension up throughout the rest of the book and made me having to keep turning those pages into the early morning. 3y

Andrew65 This is a great start to a series, that has an underlying story alongside the main storyline linking back to events in Manchester. Loving the characters central to the story, and most definitely could not have a better setting, think I need to book a trip to North Wales! I strongly recommend this series to others and now wait impatiently for the next book in the series which has been well set up by the ending to this book. 3y

Tove_Reads @EadieB Sadly been super crazy at work. Been working for four and so much weirdness going on. Should get a new colleague soon! Then after work I‘ve been studying like crazy. Have read books, but had no time to discuss them 🙁 luckily I‘ll be on vacay in three weeks 🥳 world situation worrying me naturally, especially being next door to the craziest man on the planet. 3y

EadieB @Tove_Reads World situation is bothersome to me too! Affecting my reading too. Putin is crazy but scary too! 3y

Tove_Reads @EadieB Need to read something soothing. Was thinking a Kristin Hannah could be good. 3y

EadieB @Tove_Reads That would be a good idea but I have some NetGalley books to finish. 3y

Tove_Reads @eadieb I‘m way behind you on the Hannah books anyway. My next NG read is a Coben! 😍 3y

EadieB @Tove_Reads I‘m reading this next
