This is a mystery worth reading and had great characters that makes sense to a story. The mystery was mixed with different cases that merged into one great story. Hope to read more of Conrad's books.  Read Less

I enjoyed reading new-to-me author Conrad Jones’ book, which has an intricate but tightly woven storyline with good twists and engaging protagonists. DI Alan Williams, DS Kim Davies and their team investigate a series of multiple murders committed over a short period of time across North Wales. To complicate matters, organised crime groups are engaged in a power struggle. Then DI Williams learns he’s treading on a major drugs investigation spearheaded by the Welsh Drug Squad, Merseyside Matrix Unit (guns, gangs, organized crime) and the UK’s National Crime Agency.As more bodies dropped, I kept reading and wondering just how many killers there were, because there are so many villains in this complex story. Overall, there are a lot of characters—forty-five, not counting miscellaneous police and tertiary townspeople. There are oddball locals; inept drug dealers and some too cunning for their own good; plus weed growers, drug smugglers, Albanian mobsters, and bent coppers.The moody atmosphere is heightened by pounding rain, storm-driven clouds and turbulent seas. Adding to the unease is the macabre POV of a murderer, which reveals motives, mind and psychology of a serial killer. The dark mood is lightened by DI Williams’ semi-chaotic, domestic life with his three, not-very-reliable adult sons and his two comically mismatched dogs.I decided to follow author Conrad Jones on Amazon, and I plan to read his earlier books.  Read Less
