MURDER AT HAWESWATER a brand-new gripping British crime mystery (Detective Simon Wayland Mysteries Book 1)

Detective Simon Wayland relocated to the Lake District seeking a quieter life with fewer late nights and fewer bodies. When a plane wreck is discovered in Haweswater Reservoir, Wayland recognizes the aircraft registration—it belongs to a plane that vanished fifteen years ago. As divers search the wreckage, they find human remains, including the body of a police detective who disappeared during the original investigation. The long-forgotten case is suddenly active again. Wayland and his small Cumbrian team must reopen an investigation that powerful criminals believed was buried forever. Someone took great lengths to keep the truth at the bottom of Haweswater, and they may not be finished yet. Wayland is a seasoned Detective Inspector with decades of experience. Thoughtful, observant, and quietly stubborn, he prefers patience and instinct to flashy police work. He enjoys long drives in his vintage MG, village pubs, and the steady partnership of his loyal team. The Lake District setting features sweeping mountains, quiet villages, and deep waters. In these close-knit communities where history runs deep and memories are long, old secrets have a way of rising to the surface.
