The DCI Kate Daniels series follows a detective chief inspector in Northern England who investigates murders and serious crimes. Written by Mari Hannah, the series began with The Murder Wall in 2010 and has grown to nine books. Kate Daniels is a dedicated and complex investigator whose personal life adds depth to the procedural plots.
The series is set in the Northumbria region, and Hannah draws on her knowledge of the area and the police service to create authentic crime fiction. Books like Settled Blood, Monument to Murder, and Her Last Request tackle a range of criminal cases while developing Kate Daniels as a character over the course of the series.
