The Darling Investigations series by Denise Grover Swank features four mystery novels published between 2018 and 2020. The series follows a Southern investigator through a series of cases that grow increasingly complex.
Deadly Summer and Blazing Summer establish the investigator’s world, while Let Sleeping Dogs Lie and Let it All Burn raise the stakes. The series shares some DNA with Swank’s other Southern-set mysteries but has its own distinct protagonist and storylines.
