IN THIS EIGHT-BOOK BOX SET

BOOK 1: A SHROUD FOR DELILAH
In Broadminster, a ruthless murderer is targeting divorcees. The body of a recently separated woman is discovered with a stab wound in her heart. There are no signs of forced entry or robbery, just the word ‘Delilah’ scrawled in red lipstick. Detective Webb investigates, but it’s impossible to track down a killer with no leads.

BOOK 2: A NECESSARY END
Nancy and Oliver Pendricks’ marriage is a mess. As guests arrive for a New Year’s Eve party the couple are having a blazing row — the appearance of his old flings doesn’t help. When Nancy’s body turns up strangled and dumped, rumours begin to fly. Webb must find a killer among the party guests, who all have a secret to hide.

BOOK 3: PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW
Newlyweds Jessica and Matthew are renting a pretty countryside cottage, but Jessica feels they’re being watched. Meanwhile, a matron has been violently assaulted in a care home.

BOOK 6: SIX PROUD WALKERS
The Walkers are the perfect family. Renowned for crafting famous Broadshire Porcelain, they are well liked. But that changes when Webb spots a chilling message hidden in their flower beds. Then the family's matriarch is bludgeoned to death. The whole family are under suspicion. And Webb finds himself embroiled in a deadly web of secrets, envy and blackmail.

BOOK 8: SYMBOLS AT YOUR DOOR
A local gang is terrorising Beckworth newcomers, vandalising their front doors with grotesque paintings. Then the body of a woman is found floating in a pond. Her front door was tagged with the eerie graffiti. As more houses in the village are tagged and burgled, Webb must decode the sinister symbols before another body turns up.
