Books Included in This Collection:
Mud, Muck and Dead Things
Mud, Muck and Dead Things opens the door to a tense rural mystery where the countryside can hide danger as well as beauty. Lucas Burton arrives at a lonely farm to seal a business deal and instead uncovers the body of a young girl, shattering any illusion of quiet county life. Granger threads atmosphere—mud-slick fields, creaking barns, and biting cold—with a lean investigative thread as Campbell and Carter begin to read between the clues. The pacing is brisk, the stakes are personal, and the path to truth feels earned in every page.

Rack, Ruin and Murder
Rack, Ruin and Murder drops readers into a tranquil Cotswold village unsettled by a body discovered in the drawing room of a respected local. The shocking find unsettles long-held loyalties and forces Campbell and Carter to probe past secrets and present tensions beneath the surface. Granger delivers a crisp, cleverly plotted mystery where red herrings are deftly employed and the final reveal lands with satisfying precision, leaving you eager for the next turn of the page.

Bricks and Mortality
Bricks and Mortality begins with the cold light of dawn and a dead body entombed in the smouldering remains of a burnt-out manor. Key House, long empty, is wrapped in rumours, and its owner’s sightings in Weston St Ambrose fuel speculation. Campbell and Carter sift through a web of motives and misdirections as they chase a truth that refuses to stay buried, delivering a haunting, tight-knit village mystery with real emotional pull.

Dead In The Water
In the wettest winter on record, Weston Saint Ambrose’s rivers rise and a young girl’s body is found downstream. As Christmas approaches, the floodwaters reveal hard truths about community, loyalty, and hidden resentments. Campbell and Carter navigate a landscape of weather-worn fields and fragile alibis, crafting a suspenseful investigation where the clues flow as freely as the river—and the ending feels earned and earned again.

Rooted in Evil
Rooted in Evil opens with the brain-stained discovery of a man’s body in a Cotswold wood. At first glance it might appear suicide, but the evidence quickens the pace toward a more sinister truth. As Campbell and Carter peel back layers of motive—old feuds, quiet ambitions, and buried secrets—the case deepens, revealing how tightly people’s histories are threaded into the present. A carefully calibrated deduction that rewards patient readers.

An Unfinished Murder
An Unfinished Murder reunites Mitchell and Markby from retirement to tackle a cold case that has haunted a village for years. As Josh Browning and his sister Dilys recall the moment they found a body in childhood, a new perspective pushes the investigation toward a chilling, contemporary resolve. The pair’s seasoned method and steady trust deliver a poignant reminder that time can sharpen truth rather than dull it.

A Matter of Murder
A Matter of Murder closes the collection with a winter-bound mystery tied to choices made years earlier. When past decisions collide with present danger, Campbell and Carter must chase a stubborn truth before it’s irreversibly frozen in place. The finale delivers a satisfying capstone to seven linked cases and leaves readers longing for more from this quintessential English crime duo.
