Perfect for you if...

You enjoy procedural mysteries where the detective work feels methodical and grounded rather than cinematic.
You're drawn to cases where identifying the victim is half the battle, not just a throwaway detail.
You like series where you can pick up at book 13 and still feel engaged, because the case itself carries the weight.

Maybe not for you if...

You need high-octane action or twists that hit every 50 pages—this is slow-burn detective work.
You prefer standalone mysteries over series, or you feel lost jumping into the 13th instalment.
You want your crime fiction darker and grittier; this reads more methodical and procedural than noir.

About this book

As the Kings Lake murder squad approaches its first anniversary, the team faces an unusual situation: they have no active murders to investigate. They are reassigned to review unsolved cold cases. One case unexpectedly develops new leads as the team works to identify a young woman whose remains were discovered in the Norfolk countryside twenty years earlier. Even if they can establish her identity, determining who killed her after so many years presents a significant challenge.
