DI Ruth Hunter Novels

The Snowdonia Killings (Book 1)

Detective Inspector Ruth Hunter has barely arrived in her new role at North Wales Police Force when a gruesome murder scene needs her attention. A local teacher has been attacked, and her body carved with strange symbols. What does it mean?

The Harlech Beach Killings (Book 2)

When the body of a businessman washes up on a secluded North Wales shore, DI Ruth Hunter is anxious to nail the killer – and quickly.

The Dee Valley Killings (Book 3)

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 realises that she is now tracking a deadly serial killer.

The Devil's Cliff Killings (Book 4)  

On the night of her sixteenth birthday, Rosie Wright vanishes from a remote farm in North Wales. DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans investigate the Wright family, finding cracks – a dad with a temper and a mum lying to cover herself. Rosie found refuge in an online relationship with a girl called Hayley, but is it really an innocent romance?

The Berwyn River Killings (Book 5)  

Called to a body found by the Berwyn river, DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans know something isn't adding up. Mark Fisher, a once-renowned guitarist since lost to his addictions, has been murdered – but the crime scene has been staged to look like suicide.

The White Forest Killings (Book 6)  

When a terrorist cell is raided in Manchester, the extremists flee into the streets. One is shot dead by police and the other – a bomb maker – is captured. It falls to DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans to transfer the prisoner to a top secret MI5 safehouse in Snowdonia.

But things don’t go as smoothly as they hoped. Someone else breaks into the building and before either detective can react, Nick is taken hostage. 

The Solace Farm Killings (Book 7) 

DI Ruth Hunter and DS Nick Evans witness a horrifying collision in Snowdonia. A teenage boy sprints into the road: what was he running from?

Callum Roper doesn’t survive the crash. In his possession were prescriptions for painkillers and tranquilisers, not in his name. He had severe scars on his palms and abdomen, a tattoo reading ‘Thomas’ and a recent rifle-shot wound. This isn’t just a drug-running case.
