GET **FIVE** BEST-SELLING MYSTERIES IN ONE GREAT-VALUE BOX SET. What readers are saying about the DETECTIVE JACK DAWES MYSTERIES Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, LJ Ross, JR Ellis, Frances Evesham or Faith Martin. “Suspenseful and entertaining from first page to last.” Annemarie “I was hooked from start to finish.” Angela "Highly recommended." DeeDee “Filled with unexpected twists . . . and a few laughs . . . the reader is kept guessing until the end.” Annie IN THIS FIVE-BOOK BOX SET: BOOK 1: THE GREEK ISLAND KILLER DI Jack Dawes and his bride, Corrie, join eight other holidaymakers bound for a tiny Greek island. One of them is a ruthless killer. Mayhem ensues when a storm destroys the island’s communications, cutting it off from civilization. Can Jack uncover the truth before the killer ups the ante? BOOK 2: THE BLUEBELL KILLER A body is found floating in the Thames, its head and hands hacked off. The murder rocks the affluent residents of Kings Richington. They band together to demand a cover-up. DI Jack Dawes is on the case, but how can one man expose such a huge conspiracy? BOOK 3: THE SHETLAND KILLER DI Jack Dawes is called away to the Shetlands days before Christmas. A young woman lies sprawled beneath the tower of Doomdochry Castle. It looks like suicide, but Dawes suspects foul play. Can he uncover the castle’s secrets before it’s too late? BOOK 4: THE GALLOWS GREEN KILLER When the Browns move into a beautiful house on Gallows Green it seems like a dream come true. But is it too good to be true? A local man is found dead at the bottom of a slurry pit, and a few bad apples reveal the village’s rotten core. As the body count rises, who will be the next victim of the Gallows Green killer? BOOK 5: THE MOON KILLER Six apparently motiveless murders. The only thing linking them is the killer’s bizarre M.O. Then DI Jack Dawes realises that all the murders take place on the night of a full moon. Can he lure the murderer out of hiding — if it means risking the life of a member of his own team? THE DETECTIVE Detective Inspector Jack Dawes, tall and handsome, looks like the fuzz even when he’s off-duty. He rose up through the ranks at Scotland Yard and now is a well-respected detective in the murder squad. A career copper, he was married to the job until he met Coriander during a money laundering investigation, the case which earned him his promotion to DI. He has logical analytical skills. She has intuitive people skills. So he bounces ideas off her. They make a formidable and funny couple whose skills combine to solve crimes. Don’t miss out on this acclaimed series of unputdownable mysteries! YOU GET ALL FIVE OF THE ABOVE BOOKS IN THIS EDITION.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Frances Lloyd was born in Essex but spent a nomadic childhood being carted between RAF stations until mercifully, she was allowed a crack at a proper education in Cheltenham, studying English and Classics. As an adult, she became something of a wandering minstrel with no physical or spiritual roots apart from a strong work ethic.

Frances has always been a writer. The job that paid the mortgage was in government communications, She also worked as a freelance journalist and photographer but her ambition was always to write crime novels.

She now lives in Northumberland - "Vera" territory - and writes full time. She has published ten DI Dawes murder mysteries.

Married three times but now a widow, Frances’ hobbies are reading, wine tasting and cooking.

Frances Lloyd does an awesome job in his writing. Absolutely loved books 1-5 in the Detective Jack Dawes Series. I’ve not spent so many late nights reading in a very long time. Once you start a book, all you want to do is keep reading till done! I love the mystery of the murders and yes, the humour that comes through, intended or not. I’ve really enjoyed the characters. Love what Corrie Dawes comes out with in discussions with Jack. Please keep writing, you are a wonderful writer. Thank you for the good books to read on a cold winter’s evening.

Really loved this set. Character and plot development were excellent. Principle characters are true to life and I love the way they all interact in solving the various crimes. I especially liked it when the antagonist of each book is slowly revealed.

Some of the best I have come across among the lower price Amazon mysteries. Vivid, interesting characters. Good, well-paced plots. Ms. Lloyd pretty much caps off the series at the end of Book 6, but it would be nice if she could drop in a 'midquel' or two between Books 5 and 6 (Books 5A, 5B, etc., perhaps) or create a new series.

Enjoyed all 5 books with my favourite being The Greek Island Killer and my second favourite The Shetland Killer.
Each book in this series draws you in with the setting, intriguing characters, touches of humour, compelling storyline and suspense that keeps you wanting to read more!
I’m nearly finished book #6 and will start #7 soon afterwards. Can’t wait for more books by this author!

I thought the frost started off a little boring, but once you get into the story you can’t wait to get to the end. You can catch on to the culprit Because the author allows you to, but you never really know why. My favourite cannot say - the last - the moon killer was the one I likes least.

Such a bargain, a box set of the first five books for only 99p or free with Unlimited. I was introduced to the author Frances Lloyd by Joffe Books email and so pleased I downloaded the series. Action, twist and turns, amusing main characters, produce fantastic entertaining stories for all ages. Definitely a “not to be missed” series. I hope they release these onto audiobooks.
