Former Detective Inspector Jack Lunn is enjoying the quiet life.

Twenty years on from being medically retired from the job with Hampshire Police, he’s earned his quiet routine of long walks in the New Forest.

However, Jack’s peace is shattered when he discovers the body of a friend and local landowner while on a fishing trip.

Drawn into the investigation, he comes face to face with an old colleague, and the police investigation machine he thought he had left behind.

As family secrets are exposed and a reporter takes an interest, Jack and his partner’s eldest daughter Gemma, a former military intelligence officer set to work to uncover who killed his friend.

As the body count rises, can they both unravel the mystery before it’s too late, or will Jack’s life be sacrificed as just so much dead drift

Extract at Laughter and Thunderstorms, “The corpse lay face down in the raft of weed, a concave wound in the back of its head. He recognized the old, waxed jacket on the body and was engulfed by sadness and disbelief.”

Review by libraryoflouise (IG), “This book starts right away with an exciting flow which makes you want to keep turning those pages to see what happens next.”

Review by Bookchatter@cookiebiscuit, “This is a great read for those who want their murder mysteries a bit cosier, without too much blood and gore, just the odd body floating in the river and/or bashed over the head.”

31st January

Extract at The Magic of Wor(l)ds, “There wasn’t any way he could reconcile his belief that they’d got it wrong. It wasn’t about just joining the dots and then making what evidence you had, however circumstantial, fit what you needed to make the case. A case always made him think of a jigsaw with some pieces missing.”

Review by loopyloulaura, “Dead Drift was a very enjoyable introduction to a new crime and police thriller series. I Iook forward to seeing what happens to Jack next (bit of a cliffhanger ending!)”
