Few things say ‘seaside holiday’ quite like a stroll along the pier, and Llandudno Pier is a real gem! When the body of a local boat tour operator is found on the beach beside Llandudno Pier, it seems that her murder might be linked to an ongoing rivalry with a new boat tour company. However, when it is discovered that the victim had recently started a relationship with a much younger man, the focus of the investigation changes. Simon McCleave is a mystery author best known for his debut novel, The Snowdonia Killings.

The pier sustained its first damage during a heavy storm in November 1878, when the landing stage under the pier sustained light damage. [10] The landwards extension to the same design, still in deep water and also supported on iron columns, was opened in 1884 and a new landing stage was added in 1891.

Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 [2] [3] by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company, which had just completed its branch line from Llandudno to Conwy via a junction with the Chester and Holyhead Railway near the present Llandudno Junction railway station to which the branch was soon diverted. That short pier was built to protect the rights of its owners to a much more ambitious scheme to build a major port in Llandudno Bay. Unfortunately, the pier was severely damaged in the Royal Charter Storm of 25 October 1859, [1] which caused the loss of 223 ships and 800 people in British coastal waters. Although repaired and used for a further 16 years, the pier was too short and could only be used by steam ships at high tide. I think I have now read all the Ruth Hunter books, that is the North Wales series and I think the London series. Will Ruth appear again or is that the end.
