Book 1: The Portsmouth Murders
DI Andy Horton is on his morning run along an isolated beach when he stumbles across a dead man. Stark naked and bludgeoned to death. Eight months ago, DI Horton was suspended for misconduct.

But when another body turns up with the same cause of death, Horton suspects he might be next.
Book 2: The Langstone Harbour Murders
The head mistress of a Portsmouth school is found brutally murdered on an old structure in the middle of Langstone Harbour. A note is found on the victim with the words ‘Have you forgotten ME?’ scrawled on it. The victim is Jessica Langley, a steely, determined woman who has made enemies on her path to success. But did any of them hate her enough to want her dead? Horton is in a race against time to stop the killer.
Book 3: The Horsea Marina Murders
One foggy December night, Detective Inspector Andy Horton is called to the site of a burning boat on Horsea Marina. He finds a charred body onboard. The victim was Tom Brundall, a wealthy financier from Guernsey. He had terminal cancer. What made him sail back to his hometown of Portsmouth? Who would kill a dying man? When another body is found and Horton is forced to confront the past and an adversary who will stop at nothing to prevent the truth from coming out.

Intriguing plots
Although I enjoyed the intriguing plots, the setting and characters in this trilogy, I was disappointed with the poor proofreading and editing, which spoiled the overall enjoyment.
