The Corfe Castle Murders (Dorset Crime Book 1)

Product Information

As the new DCI, she has a new team. They, for the most part are welcoming. Dennis however, prefers traditional methods and isn’t fully on board at the beginning with how Lesley works. At the start of the series, she is introduced as having been injured in a bombing incident in Birmingham and now rumors abound that she is afflicted with PTSD, among other mental issues. Book Blurb: 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? OK, so it’s not the best crime book you’re ever going to read. It is a basic whodunnit with very few characters but I read it in four days so certainly kept my interest. There is a new DCI in town called Lesley Clarke. She has been sent down from the Birmingham force for 6 months so she can have a quieter life getting over a traumatic event. That quiet life comes to nought when a dead archaeologist working on a dig in Corfe Castle turns up immediately. He has been bludgeoned. We follow Lesley who is trying to adjust to her new surroundings and her new team. I will not divulge anymore.

After reading many novels over the years, she thought there was a gap in the genre waiting to be filled and this is just what she intends to do with her writing. Rachel Detective Constable Johnny Chile is suspected of providing information to Arthur which he uses to play others in his community. The case opens to Simone who works at the National Trust, being discovered dead in the Poole Harbor nature reserve. It was renovated in the 12th century for William's son, Henry, with the sole intention of making it impressive which they certainly managed. Why is Corfe Castle famous? Note: It’s best to read these after the Dorset and Zoe books, especially the Zoe books because of Mo moving to Scotland. But, as always, I’m writing them in a way that means there are no major spoilers if you do read this series first. 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? Can she solve the murder before the killer strikes again?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.
