The DCI Daley series by Denzil Meyrick is one of the longer-running detective series in the genre, with seventeen books published from 2012 through 2025. The reading order starts with Two One Three rather than with the earliest-published book, so the table above reflects the recommended sequence rather than strict publication chronology.
The series moves through titles that mix atmosphere with investigation — from Whisky From Small Glasses and Dalintober Moon in the early entries to Well of the Winds, A Breath on Dying Embers, and Jeremiah’s Bell as the series deepens. Later books including For Any Other Truth (2021), The Death of Remembrance (2022), and No Sweet Sorrow (2023) keep the character arcs developing before Last Orders closes out the run in 2025.
