Overview
This nine-book paperback collection brings together Rachel Lynch's gripping DI Kelly Porter crime thriller series in one complete set.

Great for crime fiction fans who love a strong female detective, twisting plots, and a series built for binge reading.
About the Books
Rachel Lynch's DI Kelly Porter series established her as one of British crime fiction's most compelling voices, with the author's books collectively selling more than one million copies to date. The series opens with Dark Game, introducing Kelly Porter as she leaves the Metropolitan Police under a cloud of scandal and returns to the Lake District, where a cold case pulls her back into frontline detective work. From there, the series builds across Deep Fear, Dead End, Bitter Edge, Blood Rites, Bold Lies, Little Doubt, Lost Cause, and Lying Ways, each placing Kelly at the center of a fresh, high-stakes investigation. Lynch roots every case in the physical reality of Cumbria: its moors, lakes, isolated halls, and watchful communities become part of the tension, giving the series a strong sense of place alongside its procedural rigor. Across the nine books, Kelly contends with manipulative killers, institutional failures, and colleagues whose loyalties are unclear, all while her own instincts and judgment are tested. Lynch balances brisk, plot-driven chapters with quieter moments of reflection, letting readers see Kelly's competence and vulnerability in equal measure. Themes of trust, betrayal, and the cost of justice recur throughout, tying the individual mysteries into a satisfying, cumulative arc. Collected together in paperback, this set offers newcomers a natural entry point and gives existing fans a complete, shelf-ready collection worth revisiting.
