The Detective Lexi Bennett series follows DI Lexi Bennett as she leads the Major Investigation Team in Canterbury, Kent. Before returning to her hometown, Lexi spent time with the FBI’s specialist serial killer unit, where she trained as a profiler. Her backstory gives the series its emotional core: she is a triplet, and seventeen years before the events of the first book, she and her sisters were abducted as teenagers. Only two of them came home.
The Girls on Chalk Hill (2023) opens the series with the discovery of two dead sisters on a chalk hill outside Canterbury, the third sister missing. The case mirrors Lexi’s own past in ways she cannot ignore. The Girl’s Last Cry (2023) and The Innocent Angels (2023) continue to test Lexi’s profiling skills against increasingly dangerous killers in the Kent countryside.
