Perfect for you if...

You enjoy gritty British crime fiction with procedural detail and real investigative work, not just armchair theorising.
You like stories where the detective's personal history bleeds into the case, creating tension both on and off the job.
You want a whodunit with genuine twists that don't feel cheap, where clues actually matter and the ending lands hard.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or crimes without graphic violence, as this has brutal beatings and genuine danger throughout.
You need your detectives to be likeable protagonists, since Isla and Tam clash constantly and make difficult choices.
You're looking for standalone novels, since this is the first in a series and ends on threads that demand book two.

About this book

DC Isla Robertson, a disillusioned detective, is forced to return to Essex and work with her estranged father, Tam McLean, a former Detective Chief Superintendent known for old-school policing methods. An open-and-shut murder case brings them together. Investment manager James Hadley has been beaten to death in his home while his wife Linda hid in an upstairs bathroom. Their son Samuel is the primary suspect. However, when the family's connection to violent gangster Eddie Shaw emerges, Robertson begins to believe Samuel was framed. She and McLean must overcome their differences to prove the young man's innocence before he faces a life sentence. Set in Essex, this British detective novel combines murder mystery with family conflict, featuring multiple twists leading to an explosive conclusion. Blood of the Father is the first book in the Robertson and McLean crime thriller series.
