In Too Deep by Simon McCleave
5.0
I had thoroughly enjoyed the first book in The Anglesey Series, so was really looking forward to this one; I'm pleased to say that it didn't disappoint.
In Too Deep follows Laura Hart as she joins the local police force in Anglesey as a DI. A skeleton is discovered on her first day and she throws herself into the investigation, which quickly escalates as more bodies are found. Before she knows it, Laura has found links to both MI5 and The Real IRA and her family are in danger.
Firstly, I just love the setting of this series. Anglesey offers everything you could wish for from this kind of book - breathtakingly beautiful scenery and historical buildings, but on the flip side the rugged coastline and remote locations can seem deadly.
I really feel a connection with Laura and enjoy learning more about her. I love how we continue to learn about her past and how her curiosity about her husband's death is interweaved into this book. There is an element of romance as Laura's relationship with Gareth develops, this was another plot line that I found myself completely immersed into.
The story itself was well written and gripped me from the start. I didn't know much about the IRA, so enjoyed reading about it, although some parts were hard to read. I genuinely can't wait for the next book in the series.
My thanks to NetGalley and the Publishers for sending me this ARC in return for an honest review.
