JJ Marsh

Scotland Yard sends a modern-day Marple to solve baffling cases all over Europe in this British mystery series with character and wit.

Beatrice has developed a delicate nose for lies. It gets the old hound into trouble all the time - with criminals, Scotland Yard politics and even her friends.

The first three novels are included in Box Set One:

Behind Closed Doors sees Beatrice seconded to Switzerland. Wealthy, powerful men are committing suicide. Or are they? When the same DNA is found at each scene, DI Stubbs suspects someone is dispensing a personal retribution. Beneath the chocolate and charm, Zurich hides many secrets.

In Raw Material, Beatrice is divided. Hunting a sex offender on London Underground while trying to investigate illegal activity on a Welsh beach stretches her to her limits. Her partner and neighbour decide to assist. But amateur detectives and professional criminals make a bad mix.

Time for a sabbatical in Tread Softly. A gourmet trip to the north of Spain is exactly what DI Stubbs needs. Until she meets an old acquaintance who lures her into an investigation. Beatrice is up to her neck in missing persons, murder, corruption and Rioja.

If you enjoy Kate Atkinson, Patricia Highsmith or Sue Grafton, you'll love Boxset One.

Beatrice Stubbs Series

The Beatrice Stubbs Boxset One

Did their conscience get to them? Or did someone else?

An unethical banker suffocates. A diamond dealer slits his wrists. A media magnate freezes in the snow. A disgraced CEO inhales exhaust fumes.

Four unpopular businessmen, four apparent suicides. Until Interpol find the same DNA at each death.

Beatrice Stubbs, on her first case since a personal tragedy, arrives in Switzerland to lead the investigation. But there's more to Zurich than chocolate and charm.

Potential suspects are everywhere, her Swiss counterpart is hostile and the secretive world of international finance seems beyond the law. Battling impossible odds by day and her own demons at night, Beatrice has never felt so alone.

She isn't. Someone's watching.

Someone else who believes in justice.

The poetic kind.

Discover a modern-day Marple in this riveting crime series set against breathtaking European locations.

This predator must be stopped before he turns rapist. But how do you catch someone who prowls the London Underground, leaving no more trace than a shadow?

From wild Welsh beaches to the underpasses of London, Beatrice uncovers the darker side of human nature.

Raw Material

"You don't attract trouble. You go looking for it."

On a sabbatical from the Metropolitan Police, Beatrice Stubbs is considering her future while touring Northern Spain.

In the Basque County, she encounters a distant acquaintance. Beautiful, bloody-minded journalist Ana Herrero is onto a story.

Beatrice, scenting adventure, offers her expertise. The two women are sucked into a mystery of missing persons, violent threats, mutilated bodies and industrial-scale fraud. They are out of their depth. With no official authority and unsure who to trust, they find themselves up to their necks in corruption, blackmail and Rioja.

Beatrice calls for the cavalry. The boys are back, and this time, it's a matter of taste. But when her instincts prove fallible, Beatrice discovers that justice is a matter of interpretation.

Santorini. Turquoise seas, ancient ruins and beautiful sunsets. And a woman thrown from a cliff.

The violent death shocks fellow passengers of the Empress Louise, a grand cruise liner packed with British tourists.

For newly promoted Inspector Nikos Stephanakis, the case poses linguistic and cultural problems. His request for assistance yields unexpected results.

DI Beatrice Stubbs, called in as support, flies to Greece. What with tension at home, the timing couldn't be better. She anticipates a few days in the sun and a swift resolution.

Yet an earlier death at sea proves suspicious and when another elderly lady is killed in her cabin, terror spreads like contagion. Murder is aboard.

And someone has Beatrice in his sights.

From the Cyclades to the Dodecanese, Nikos and Beatrice pursue the killer and unearth a secret. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Each book of the Beatrice Stubbs Series works stand-alone.

"This is JJ Marsh's fourth snappily written crime mystery featuring the feisty but vulnerable Stubbs, a most appealing character. It's all highly diverting, and an ideal read for those who like their crime with a lighter, less gruesome touch."—Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller

"With characters you love to hate, and just plain adore, Cold Pressed is a perfect balance of suspense, crime, and literary genius."—Jessica Bell, Vine Leaves Literary Journal
