The Yorkshire Murders puts Yorkshire front and center in its title and in its stories. The seven books — from The Viaduct Killings to The York Minster Killings — each name a Yorkshire landmark or landscape feature, anchoring the crimes in specific, atmospheric locations. The series launched in 2022 and continues through 2026.
Wes Markin uses the Yorkshire setting to give each book a distinct identity. A viaduct, a lonely lake, a crying cave, a graveyard, winter moors, black rocks, and York Minster itself all become crime scenes and sources of atmosphere. The murders happen in places that already carry weight and history, which adds layers to the investigations.
