Detectives Harvey & Birch: Books 1-4
(2025)(A book in the Detectives Harvey & Birch Mystery series)
An omnibus of novels by Kerry Buchanan
Four gripping crime thrillers packed with breathtaking twists. 1100+ pages of compelling cases set in beautiful Northern Ireland. Over 4400 five-star reviews.
Detectives Asha Harvey and Aaron Birch don’t shout to be heard. They just get on with it — long nights, cold scenes, the grind no one sees. Belfast streets, border roads, quiet farms — they’ve worked them all. She keeps her focus sharp, he reads the room before anyone speaks and together, they take on the worst Belfast has to offer.
THE SETTING
A city of contrasts, Belfast is filled with traces dating back to a golden age of shipbuilding and wealth, as well as the scars of more recent wounds. The city has an exciting sense of newness and potential, but it can’t quite shed those who lurk in the darker shadows born of its turbulent past. For Harvey and Birch, Belfast is both battleground and home — a place where every alley, every bar, every shadowed riverbank might conceal witness, suspect, or killer.
MEET THE DETECTIVES
Detective Asha Harvey has always had a powerful sense of right and wrong. She wanted to be a detective since she was a child, and while she can be a little too trusting, her open manner makes people want to confide in her. She is especially driven to succeed as a woman of colour in a largely white, male police force in Northern Ireland. Her family support her and are ridiculously proud of her, which adds to her internal pressure to succeed.
Boyish and gangly, Detective Aaron Birch entered the police force as a detective through a graduate recruitment scheme. This makes him the butt of snide remarks by fellow officers, so he always feels he has something to prove. He also has a tendency to stretch the rules to suit himself, which can lead to him getting into trouble. Birch may look easy-going, but he doesn’t flinch when things get dark.
Fans of Claire McGowan, Steve Cavanagh, Angela Marsons and Helen H. Durrantwill devour this new character-driven page-turner by one of Northern Ireland’s hottest talents.
