Five gripping mysteries. Two unforgettable detectives. One hauntingly beautiful corner of Wales. Find out why readers can't put these books down.
Ex-policewoman Fabia Havard is trying to rebuild her life in the quiet Welsh town of Pontygwyn after a career-ending scandal. But when murder rocks her community, she’s drawn back into investigation — and into the orbit of her former colleague, Detective Chief Inspector Matt Lambert.
From the body of a teenage girl found beneath an ancient bridge to a ruthless killing among the wealthy elite, Havard and Lambert must uncover secrets that the stunning Welsh valleys would rather keep buried. Together, they battle small-town politics, personal betrayals, and dangerous criminals — all while confronting the tension that still simmers between them.
Fans of Joy Ellis, Faith Martin, and LJ Ross will fall in love with the evocative setting, twisting plots, and complex characters of The Havard and Lambert Mysteries.
This box set includes:
- Murder in the Valleys — A brutal death beneath a centuries-old bridge leads Fabia back to the police world she thought she had left behind.
- Murder at the Old Abbey — A hidden past and a deadly secret collide among the ruins of an ancient abbey.
- Murder by the River Usk — A body in the river, a community in shock, and a killer closer to home than anyone suspects.
- Murder in a Welsh Town — Tensions run high when a beloved local figure is found dead — and everyone has something to hide.
- Murder of a Gentleman — A seemingly genteel gathering spirals into betrayal, lies, and a shocking murder.
Meet the Detectives:
Fabia Havard: Once a high-flying police superintendent, Fabia left the force under a cloud of suspicion. Now working as an illustrator, she can't help but be drawn into the dark currents swirling beneath her picturesque Welsh hometown. Sharp-witted, fiercely independent, and haunted by the past, Fabia refuses to turn a blind eye when justice is at stake.
Matt Lambert: Detective Chief Inspector Matt Lambert knows how to play by the rules — and when to break them. Dedicated, brooding, and burdened by old griefs, Matt is not sure he can trust Fabia again. But when bodies begin to fall, he’ll need all the help he can get — even if it means reopening old wounds.
