The DCI Cook Murder Mystery series by Jack Cartwright features DCI Cook tackling violent crimes in a British police procedural setting. A Winter Of Blood (2023) introduces the detective in a case set during the harsh winter months, while A Secret To Die For (2024) raises the stakes with a case built around dangerous secrets that someone will kill to protect.
With two books so far, the series is still in its early stages. Readers familiar with Cartwright’s Wild Fens books will recognize his approach: tight plotting, atmospheric settings, and investigations that peel back layers of deception in seemingly ordinary communities.
