Meet DCI Lesley Clarke. She?s a straight-talking city copper who doesn?t suffer fools gladly... and she?s been transferred to rural Dorset.

After being injured in a bomb attack, Lesley is presented with a choice - early retirement, or a period of respite in a calmer location.

But things don?t stay calm for long.

Before she?s even started her new job, Lesley is dragged into investigating a murder at one of England?s most iconic landmarks, the imposing Corfe Castle.

Lesley must hit the ground running. Can she get along with her new partner DS Dennis Frampton, a traditionalist who doesn?t appreciate her style? How will she navigate the politics of a smaller force where she?s a bigger, and less welcome, fish? And most importantly, can she solve the murder before the killer strikes again?

The Corfe Castle Murders is a compelling, character-driven mystery perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross and Elly Griffiths.
