Overview
Step into the tense, procedural world of Detective Chief Inspector Craig Gillard with this six-book paperback collection by Nick Louth. Beginning with The Body in the Marsh and running through The Body on the Island, this set follows Gillard's earliest cases, from a missing criminologist's partner to a professional hit and a windswept island murder. Each novel is a self-contained mystery packed with red herrings, morally gray suspects, and a satisfying resolution, making this collection ideal for crime fiction fans who want a complete run of tightly plotted, character-driven police procedurals to read in order.

About the Books
The DCI Craig Gillard Crime Thrillers series by Nick Louth follows a dogged, quietly principled Surrey detective as he works cases stretching from marshes and riversides of the Home Counties to remote islands and snow-covered parkland. The Body in the Marsh introduces Gillard investigating a woman's disappearance connected to a controversial criminologist, establishing the series' hallmark blend of domestic drama and procedural rigor. The Body on the Shore raises the stakes with a killing tied to corporate secrets and personal ambition, while The Body in the Mist deepens the psychological tension as old loyalties are tested and witnesses reveal more than they intend. The Body in the Snow opens with a winter murder that draws Gillard into a web of hidden motives and calculated deception, and The Body Under the Bridge and The Body on the Island push him into cases involving contract killers and isolated communities where everyone has something to hide. Across all six books, Louth builds a consistent, believable procedural world, layering forensic detail, interview scenes, and internal team politics against vividly rendered English settings. Readers follow not just the cases but Gillard's own evolution, as junior colleagues mature into trusted partners and his instincts sharpen book by book, with each title offering a fresh, standalone puzzle within a slowly deepening world.
