Sarah Ward’s Carla James series introduces a new detective for readers who have followed her previous crime fiction. Death Rites and Quiet Bones, both published in 2025, establish James as a capable investigator tackling cases that require patience and careful attention to detail.
The series continues Ward’s commitment to atmospheric British crime fiction, with settings and character dynamics that complement her earlier Connie Childs and Mallory Dawson books.
