The Harvey Ross Coastal Mystery series: Books 1-3

Retirement was supposed to be the end of Harvey Ross's detective career. It turned out to be just the beginning.

Former Detective Inspector Harvey Ross has traded London's Metropolitan Police for the windswept shores of North Norfolk. Divorced, retired, and inheriting his late aunt's cottage in the seaside town of Sheringham, he's ready for a quieter life with only his faithful terrier Max for company.

Quiet doesn't last long.

Max has a talent for digging up trouble—literally. A buried leather satchel here, a hidden clue there, and suddenly Harvey's peaceful retirement transforms into something far more intriguing. But it's not just Max causing complications. Harvey's late aunt had secrets of her own, and she's left behind more than just the cottage. Cryptic notes, unsolved puzzles, and tantalizing mysteries seem designed to ensure her nephew never has a dull moment.

From cold cases dating back decades to local legends dismissed as folklore, Harvey discovers that small-town Sheringham harbours more dark secrets than his old London beat ever did. Without a badge, without authority, but with all his investigative instincts intact, Harvey begins tackling the mysteries that haunt the Norfolk coast—the cases everyone else has given up on or tried to forget.

The Harvey Ross Mysteries: Perfect for fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club and M. C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth series.

The Harvey Ross Coastal Mystery series brings together the very best of British cosy crime—a shrewd, instinctive detective, a stunning North Norfolk setting, and mysteries that reach deep into the past to unsettle the present. Whether Harvey is pursuing cold case killers, decoding wartime secrets, or untangling conspiracies that span centuries, he does it with the quiet tenacity of a man who simply cannot leave a puzzle unsolved.
