Perfect for you if...

  • You love British police procedurals with proper detective work and procedural detail rather than just action.
  • You're drawn to stories where solving the crime matters less than understanding the detectives doing the solving.
  • You want genuine cold cases with overlooked witnesses and police misconduct, not contrived whodunits.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced thrillers where the plot moves quicker than character development.
  • You're looking for cosy mysteries or lighter crime fiction without the weight of grief and personal struggle.
  • You find multiple POVs and ensemble casts confusing rather than engaging.

About this book

Former Detective Inspector Gus Freeman never expected to return to policing. Years after his wife Tess's death, he is tasked with reopening forgotten murders in Wiltshire alongside a small team of detectives. In Fatal Decision, sixty-eight-year-old Daphne Tolliver was beaten to death during her daily walk. With no motive or suspects, the case went unsolved. Gus's team uncovers overlooked witnesses and inconsistencies while he confronts his own grief. Last Orders follows the 2003 stabbing death of barmaid Trudi Villiers. Gus's review exposes police misconduct and a killer who evaded justice for fifteen years, while criminals work to keep the past buried. In Pressure Point, Laura Mallinder is found stabbed at her workplace. Gus's team discovers ignored witnesses, questionable alibis, and concealed family secrets. Each detective faces personal struggles—new relationships, old grief, recovery, and reinvention. This box set combines British police procedural with the personal stories of the detectives investigating these cases.
