Murder Most Casual
(2025)(The second book in the Harvey Ross Coastal Mystery series)
A novel by Theo Harris
A trail of unsolved murders. A mystery boat abandoned in the dead of night. For Harvey Ross, the coast is anything but quiet…
Newly appointed police consultant Harvey Ross is thrown straight into his first cold case: the infamous Bouquet Murders, a trio of killings that have puzzled Norfolk Constabulary for years. With the help of a keen but inexperienced probationer, Harvey begins to unravel the tangled web of clues… and discovers that some secrets are harder to bury than others.
Meanwhile, Aunt Agatha’s legendary binder of unsolved mysteries leads Harvey to a second puzzle: a motorboat abandoned on Sheringham’s beach after a stormy night in 1945. Who owned it, and why was it left behind? Harvey is determined to find out—but the closer he gets, the stranger and more dangerous the village becomes.
Charming villagers, curious witnesses, and a coastal breeze that seems to carry more than just salt air all conspire to make Harvey’s new life anything but quiet.
The Harvey Ross Coastal Mysteries are perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Ann Cleeves, and Anthony Horowitz—where clever puzzles, quirky characters, and seaside intrigue are always on the case.
