Perfect for you if...

You enjoy British crime procedurals where the detective gradually uncovers an intricate web of premeditation.
You're drawn to morally complex protagonists who believe their own justifications, even as their plans spiral.
You like standalone crime novels that don't require commitment to a series, but leave you wanting more.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or procedurals without graphic violence or sustained tension.
You need your detective heroes to be unambiguously good people you can root for without reservation.
You're looking for fast-paced thrillers with constant action rather than methodical investigative work.

About this book

Edwin Murphy, a career-focused man who has neglected his family, faces a crisis when his wife files for divorce. Threatened with the loss of his home, job, and relationship with his daughter, he devises a plan to murder his wife and restore his former life. When bodies begin appearing across London with no obvious connections, Detective Chief Inspector David Morton takes on the investigation. He must uncover the hidden pattern linking the murders as he works to solve the deadly conspiracy behind them. Dead on Demand is the first crime novel featuring DCI Morton.
