The Blue Pool Murders

DCI Lesley Clarke faces a busy, emotionally charged casebook as investigations reopen around DCI Mackie’s death. While supporting DS Dennis Frampton through recurring mental health challenges and navigating plans for her own future, Lesley must probe the murder of prominent crime boss Arthur Kelvin found at a local beauty spot. The novel asks the classic questions: Was Kelvin killed by a rival, someone inside his gang, or one of his many victims? Layered motives and the moral complexity of a close-knit community make this paperback edition a compelling read for anyone who loves a thoughtful, twist-driven detective story.

The Lighthouse Murders

Back in Dorset, Lesley’s life is unsettled when someone close to her is arrested in connection with DCI Mackie’s murder and a body washes up in the remote lighthouse at Portland Bill. The corpse is someone Lesley previously investigated — raising stakes, suspicion, and tension with the tight-knit Portland community. With DI Zoe Finch from the West Midlands brought in to assist, this book combines atmospheric coastal settings with forensic detail and realistic police teamwork.

The Ghost Village Murders

Lesley believes she’s closing in on the truth behind her predecessor’s murder, but the discovery of a police officer’s body in the abandoned village of Tyneham escalates the case. When a threat is made against someone Lesley cares about, the investigation becomes urgent and personal. This installment blends psychological suspense with procedural authenticity, showcasing McLean’s strength at crafting emotional stakes alongside investigative momentum.
