Masters & Green Mysteries (Books 14–27)

‘ The many who miss the properly clued inductive detective story will fall on this one with relief .’ Times Literary Supplement ‘ A well-crafted British mystery .’ Publishers Weekly Thirteen gripping British mysteries featuring one of crime fiction’s most unconventional detective duos. 2400+ pages of methodical crime-solving. MEET THE DETECTIVES Detective Chief Inspector Masters is a stickler for order. His desk is immaculate, his pencils always sharpened, his case files meticulously organised. He prefers his alone time over social gatherings, settling down with his daily cup of strong, unsweetened tea and some classic literature in the evening. He values intellect over emotion, and isn’t afraid to cut ties with anyone who doesn’t meet to his standards (like a certain inspector). Inspector Green is a creature of habit. He frequents the same pubs, orders the same meals (a hearty plate of meat and potatoes) and sticks to his routines, a nice pint and footie match on the telly for his evenings. He’s all about tradition and is often found grumbling about the rise of flashy modern techniques and new young ‘hotshots’ like Masters. But beneath his grumpy exterior is a detective who cares deeply about justice. Set in a world before smartphones and forensics, these classic British police procedurals blend golden-age puzzle-solving with modern realism, driven by character, logic, and the unshakeable bond between two detectives who refuse to give up — no matter how tangled the trail. Perfect for fans of Colin Dexter, Reginald Hill, and P.D. James.
