About this deal

Although I have most of Conrad’s books on my ‘to be read’ mountain, I have only read a couple of them. Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). Maggie Hope started out as Winston Churchill's secretary, but now she's a secret agent-and the only one who can figure out how the missing violin ties into a series of horrifying murders.

The images created by the prose are vivid, I could almost feel the wind and rain and feel the drenched clothing. DI Alan Williams is faced with the most brutal murder scene he's witnessed: the ritual killing of an elderly widow.A candlestick was placed on the floor close to the body, and a red candle balanced on the mantelpiece.

His bodies are also turning up on Anglesey, which just adds to an already complicated picture for Williams and Davies. With each chapter the tension is ramped up and I went from not wanting to put it down, to being almost to scared to read on, but I did because I had to know who survived.

This, however, is only the beginning and the body count is set to rise and the case spreads considerably before DI Alan Williams and his team can work out what's going on. As he said the body of an elderly woman had been found, we spotted two senior North Wales Police officers emerging from the bungalow accompanied by a Home Office pathologist.There are a lot of characters to keep tabs on and it’s clear that there is something serious happening in the criminal underworld of Holyhead! Bailey said: “To that sad, twisted broken soul who murdered him, I say if you have an ounce of humanity, any sense of decency then you would tell us now why you have done this. I read the book while we were in Anglesey and could walk down to the beach at Trearddur Bay to consider the first crime scene in the book in person.

DI Alan Williams and his team must solve both mysteries fast to prevent more killings on the island, but time is not on their side. There is a copycat serial killer and a drug war in North Wales and they are leaving bodies everywhere. A man has been charged with the murder of an Anglesey grandmother who was found dead at her home on April 22.

During that trip, I received news that my house had been burgled and my work van and equipment were stolen. Once the pensioner was dead, Hardman made several deep gashes in her legs, and began draining her blood into a small saucepan taken from the kitchen, from which he then drank. As the first book in the series it is difficult to work out which officers are part of DI Alan Williams' team and how they will gel together but I particularly liked the way in which each member of the teams had plenty to do and were given responsibility to follow through on actions. Two miles along the headland at Porth Dafarch, a third victim is found but there are no obvious links. There was definitely some potential with the story, but splitting the focus between two different sets of crimes felt like the story became quite meandering and never really grabbed your focus.

A sombre looking Divisional Commander, Keith Humphreys, told us a briefing would be held later that afternoon at the Llandegai police station where an incident room was being set up. A punchbag, with holes that suggested it had been used for crossbow target practice, was seized from his home. Mathew Hardman, then 17, attacked Mabel Leyshon from behind as she sat in an armchair watching television in the lounge of her home near Llanfairpwll late on Saturday, November 24, 2001. The Anglesey Murders is a police procedural set in North Wales which starts off with a particularly chilling prologue which gives the reader a clue as to what is to come. Hysteria is the second instalment in Ross' brand new Dr Alex Gregory series, narrated by actor Hugh Dancy.A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. It’s always a worry when an author creates a new detective, especially when you have loved their previous detective series, as you never know whether you can take to them as much as the other one.
