Living and working in Snowdonia was always retired detective Frank Marshal's dream. Until a phone call asking for his help turns it into his worst nightmare.
Retired detective Frank Marshal lives in a remote part of Snowdonia with his wife Rachel who is suffering from dementia. Working as a park ranger, Frank gets a phone call from close friend Annie, a retired judge. Her sister Meg has gone missing from a local caravan park and she needs his help to find her.
As Frank and Annie start to unravel the dark secrets of Meg's life, it seems at first that her disappearance might be linked to her nephew and a drug deal gone wrong. In a shocking twist, their investigation leads them to a series of murders in North Wales from the 1990s and a possible miscarriage of justice.
Can Frank and Annie uncover the sinister truth so they find her sister in time to save her? Or will a brutal serial killer add Meg to his list of victims?
Marshal of Snowdonia is the first book in the Frank Marshal Crime Thriller series from multi-million bestselling author Simon McCleave. If you like dark thrillers, psychologically complex characters and shocking twits, then you'll love Simon McCleave's pulse-pounding new novel.
Marshal of Snowdonia is the first book in a new series from crime thriller author Simon McCleave and what an absolute belter it is - I raced through it and couldn't put it down. It's the first book by Simon McCleave that I have read and it has certainly whetted my appetite to read more of his books.
Once a detective, always a detective - that's how I see Frank Marshal. Frank may have retired but he doesn't hesitate to do a little investigating of his own when his friend's sister goes missing. Annie is close to her sister Meg but there's a lot about her life that she doesn't know. Uncovering Meg's secrets leads Frank and Annie into a web of danger and sheds new light on a series of murders that the police thought were solved.
This book is so good and I loved everything about it. The plotting is exquisite as the story twists and turns to shock, surprise and delight the reader. The character development is breathtaking as I really felt as if I got to know Frank throughout the course of the book, making me look forward to his next adventure.
Unpredicatable and unputdownable, Marshal of Snowdonia is an outstanding crime thriller novel and an electrifying start to an exciting new series. Very highly recommended.
