“Bruce Beckham’s DI Skelgill novels are atmospheric, “cozy-rough” British crime fiction set in the picturesque Lake District. They feature an intuitive, rebellious Cumbrian detective, Daniel Skelgill, solving intricate, standalone murders. The brand emphasises stunning rural scenery, witty dialogue, and a focus on character dynamics over graphic violence.”
"I very rarely give 5 stars to works that aren’t considered literary fiction. This series is 5-star-worthy.
The protagonist, DI Skelgill, is intriguing and engaging beyond the norm. His assistants and his relationships with them are equally compelling.
The mysteries are not easily solved by the reader ahead of time. This makes for avid reading!"
