The Headline Hero Trilogy is a tightly connected set of three mystery novels published in 2017, all featuring Colin Crampton. Unlike the standalone entries in the main Headline Hero series, these three books tell a linked story across Murder in the Morning Edition, Murder in the Afternoon Extra, and Murder in the Night Final.
The trilogy format lets Bartram develop a more complex mystery than a single novel allows, with clues and characters carrying over from one book to the next. The newspaper edition titles mirror the progression of the story from morning through night, giving the trilogy a built-in structure that ties into Crampton’s journalist world.
