Newly returned to his home turf of Anglesey after thirty years with the London Metropolitan police,  DI Tudor Manx is faced with unresolved family issues, hostility from colleagues and a series of murders that point to  a serial killer on the island.



What attracted me to this book was the setting of Anglesey.

With many fond memories of the island from family holidays with my children, I was eager to revisit some of the beautiful coastline with Dylan Jones and he does a great job of depicting the Anglesey I remember (albeit without the murders).

What I liked most about this book was the way that Jones effortlessly threaded the different elements of the story into a cohesive tapestry.  The twists and turns made me laugh, kept me guessing and had me on the edge of my seat.  As a character, Manx grew on me so much so that by the end of the book I felt I could happily go for a drink with him.  I love it when an author creates a warts and all character that seeps into your blood and , in Tudor Manx, Jones has done just that.
A highly recommended read!
