The Joe Boyd Suspense series is Dan Walsh’s second thriller line, starting with If These Walls Could Talk in 2019. Boyd is a detective, which gives these books a different feel from the Jack Turner series. The crimes are more grounded in the present day, and Boyd’s investigative methods drive the plots rather than historical research.
An Inconvenient Death (2020), The Scandal of Mercy (2021), and Treacherous Waters (2022) followed at a steady pace. Walsh keeps each book self-contained enough to work on its own while building Boyd’s character over the series. The faith element is present but does not dominate the stories. Readers who liked Jack Turner but wanted something closer to a police procedural will find this series worth picking up.
