Dorset Crime Series: Book 4-6
(2024)(A book in the Dorset Crime series)
An omnibus of novels by Rachel McLean
Three more gripping cases for DCI Lesley Clarke in the heart of coastal Dorset – where postcard-perfect scenery hides deep divisions, old grudges, and dangerous secrets. In this second box set of the bestselling Dorset Crime series, Lesley faces corruption within the force, political intrigue, and crimes that strike far too close to home.
In The Monument Murders, a body is found draped over Swanage's iconic Globe monument with a chilling note reading Go Home. As tensions rise in the seaside community, Lesley must determine whether she'''s investigating a hate crime... or something far more personal. But when a journalist begins digging into the suspicious death of Lesley’s predecessor, the case threatens to expose secrets within the police itself.
In The Millionaire Murders, a wealthy lawyer and an unknown companion are found dead in a Sandbanks mansion. With a web of greed, resentment and jealousy among the local elite, Lesley must work out who had the most to gain – while a missing journalist’s trail points back to the dark legacy of former DCI Mackie.
And in The Fossil Beach Murders, a landslip at Lyme Regis uncovers two long-buried bodies. As Lesley traces a weapon that may once have belonged to the police, she’s forced to confront questions of loyalty, justice and truth that cut to the core of her team – and her own past.
From murder on a windswept beach to corruption behind closed doors, this tense and atmospheric trilogy exposes the shadows beneath Dorset’s beauty – and the price of uncovering the truth.
