The Jack Drummond series is Rena George’s crime thriller offering, set in Scotland. Starting with Stranglehold (2019), the six books follow Drummond through increasingly dangerous investigations. The series has a darker tone than George’s Cornish cozy mysteries, with titles like Deadfall, Entrapment, and Monster hinting at the level of threat.
Witchling (2022) and Inverness (2022) brought the series into different territory within Scotland. Monster (2023) is the most recent entry. The Scottish setting gives the series a different atmosphere from George’s Cornish-set work, though her attention to landscape and sense of place remains consistent.
