The DI Marnie Rome series follows a London detective whose cases bring her face to face with the worst of human behavior. Someone Else’s Skin (2014) launched the series with a domestic violence case that won the Theakston Old Peculier Award, and the five sequels maintained the same unflinching approach to difficult subject matter.

No Other Darkness, Tastes Like Fear, Quieter Than Killing, Come and Find Me, and Never Be Broken each take on a different facet of violent crime, with Marnie’s own troubled backstory running as a thread through the full six-book arc. Hilary writes procedurals that are as much about the toll of the work as the mechanics of solving cases.
