Following recently widowed Detective Inspector Hillary Greene as she rebuilds her reputation while her late husband's corruption still shadows her career, these mysteries combine sharp police procedure with the quiet menace of the English countryside. Fans of Agatha Christie, Colin Dexter, and Ruth Rendell will find a fast-paced whodunit series perfect for cozy mystery lovers and book clubs alike.
About the Books
This collection opens with Murder on the Oxford Canal, introducing Detective Inspector Hillary Greene as she battles to salvage her career after her late husband's corrupt dealings put her under investigation. When a battered body surfaces in the Oxford Canal, Hillary suspects far more than a boating accident, and her digging uncovers a darker conspiracy than anyone anticipated. Murder at the University follows Hillary into an exclusive Oxford college, where a promising French student is found dead in her room. What looks like a tragic overdose quickly unravels into a high-profile murder inquiry once Hillary uncovers the student's secretive activities, while an old rival is transferred in to complicate matters. Murder of the Bride closes the set with a wedding day turned nightmare: called to a farm in the village of Steeple Barton, Hillary finds a bride strangled in her wedding gown, and must untangle the jealousies of a close-knit village where almost everyone had a motive. Across all three books, Faith Martin balances traditional whodunit plotting with a compelling heroine whose personal struggles are as gripping as the cases she investigates, set against the dreaming spires and quiet villages of Oxfordshire.
