Dorset Crime Series Boxset 1 - 3 (Dorset Crime boxset)

When DCI Lesley Clarke resigns herself to a quieter life in rural Dorset after a traumatic incident, she finds the peace she seeks is only skin-deep.

In The Corfe Castle Murders, her first case in Dorset, she is plunged into a brutal homicide at Corfe Castle, uncovering deception, financial fraud and hidden motives even before she’s settled in.

In The Clifftop Murders, Dorset’s picturesque holiday landscapes hide darker secrets – when a woman linked to Lesley’s new partner is murdered near dramatic cliff edges, Lesley must confront the danger of intimate betrayal and judge who to trust in a community where grief, ambition and resentment collide.

And in The Island Murders, when a body washes ashore on Brownsea Island and a second victim is found in a lagoon, Lesley is drawn into a tight-knit island community bristling with secrets and concealed relationships. As she unravels the tangled connections of the local conservation team, tensions between loyalty and truth threaten to erupt.

Across these three gripping mysteries, rural Dorset is revealed to be anything but idyllic. With richly drawn characters, complex motives, and atmospheric settings, this trio of cases introduces DCI Clarke’s tenacity, her uneasy relationships with her team, and the shadows that haunt both her new home and her past.
