BOOK 1: UNDER VIOLENT SKIES
Detective Sara Hirst has moved from London to the Serious Crimes Unit in beautiful Norfolk. Her first call-out is to a decomposing body discovered in a ditch on a local farm. How does the murder relate to a recent spate of thefts? Who wanted the victim dead? The case is about to become very personal.
BOOK 2: INTO DEADLY STORMS
Dawn breaks as a dog-walker finds a dead body, half-naked and wrapped tightly in an old groundsheet. Detective Hirst is first on the scene. Who is the victim? And who will be next? Sara must take on some of Britain’s most wanted criminals if she’s to find out the truth.
BOOK 3: A BRUTAL SEASON
Carnival week in Cromer. The morning after the celebrations, the body of Daisy Shaw, the Carnival Queen, is discovered in a back alley. Her long blonde hair lies matted and dishevelled, her fingers clutch a sparkly plastic tiara. The close-knit carnival community is all too used to prejudice and none too keen on helping the police. Meanwhile, both Sara’s mother and boyfriend have bombshells to drop.
Book 4: AN ARTFUL MURDER
The first body is found forced inside a huge terracotta urn on the lawn of a country manor in a remote corner of North Norfolk. Days later, a young woman is found, tied to a golden chair, her throat slashed. At both crime scenes, the killer leaves a bizarre calling card.
BOOK 5: THE NORFOLK BEACH MURDERS
It’s a stormy December morning when seal-watchers find the body on the beach at Winterton-on-Sea. It looks like a tragic accident. Until another body is found on a pleasure boat drifting out at sea. There are bullet holes in the boat’s hull. This was definitely murder. But Detective Hirst will soon have more to worry about than two dead bodies. Someone from her past is back.
The Complete North Norfolk Murder Mysteries Books 1–5 (DS Sara Hirst #1-5) Reviews
-
Receiving 5 novels in a series all at once is a gamble, but this one paid off. The first was the one I liked least, but I liked the characters and the setting. Actually, it was often the minor characters who were more developed, which proved beneficial to the plots because you develop genuine concern for them.
I like Sara's team as well even if they didn't come across as well as some of the victims and villains, -
Pretty good, but slow
I liked the characters. The plots were fairly interesting. But I found the writing a little slow, especially toward the endings, as they seemed to go on and on, for no good reason. The settings were nicely described and seemed authentic to this American reviewer. -
Good Reading
Best boxed set I've read in a long time. Good from the beginning to the end. The third book was excellent and others really good.
