WW2 espionage thriller set in DOVER
Your chance to win copies of two great crime thrillers set in the North East of England, each signed by the author – plus an exclusive cotton tote bag!
18th March 2015
We are very pleased to offer signed copies of two brilliant crime thrillers set in the North East of England (Harbour Street by Ann Cleeves set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Monument to Murder by Mari Hannah set in Northumberland) as prizes in our competition this month. Both signed books, plus an exclusive cotton tote bag promoting the region, will be despatched to the lucky winner!
Harbour Street is a crime thriller set in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. A woman is fatally stabbed on the Metro (the region’s subway) – but no one saw the murder. There are no witnesses despite the train being crowded. Just days later a second woman is murdered… DI Vera Stanhope investigates – the clues indicate the importance of Harbour Street in her investigations, but why are the resident so reluctant to speak? To read the full TripFiction review of Harbour Street, click here.
Monument to Murder is set north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne on the Northumberland coast. Skeletal remains are discovered beneath the fortified walls of Banburgh Castle. DCI Kate Daniels investigates… Can the case be connected to the release from prison of sex offender Walter Fearon, and what are his intentions towards prison psychologist, Emily McCann? Daniels encounters dead end after dead end in her investigations. Who is hiding what? To read the full TripFiction review of Monument to Murder (plus tips for a visit to Northumberland!), click here.

Someone else has already mentioned him but I love Stephen Booth’s series set in the Peak District too. For me, though, the first in the series has to be the best as it sets the tone of everything to come.

Actually Blue Monday is just the beginning. All subsequent books in that same series are almost equally as good… Tuesday’s Gone, Waiting for Wednesday, Thursday’s Child.
