The Bookshop Detectives by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward. This is fun and really clever – the authors are former UK police officers who moved to Havelock North and opened a bookshop (Sherlock Tomes). The lead characters have a similar background and their names are a play on Gareth and Louise. They get caught up in a decade long murder mystery which happened in the Hawkes Bay town and which – of course – they try to solve.
The Survivors by Steve Braunias. Steve Braunias is one of our finest writers and his crime related storytelling is incredibly empathetic and insightful. This is twelve stories of crime, disappearance, mystery and intrigue all centred around the very human lives of the people involved. It’s the 3rd (and final) book in a series which he has written along these lines. The others are The Scene of the Crime and Missing Persons.
