About the author

Hi everyone,

My name is Andrew Barrett and I live and work in West Yorkshire.

My CSI Eddie Collins and SOCO Roger Conniston books focus on the world of the crime scene investigator. I've been a CSI for over twenty-eight years, and try to inject an element of authenticity into each story.

And if you enjoy detectives with a difference, search out the new series featuring a sharp female lead character called DS Regan Carter.

Thanks for looking,

Andy

Kindle Unlimited, if remember right when these were republished {with changed titles as well} the writer also went and edited things in different places so while they are the same books they aren't 'exactly' so yeah I did a quick read through on ku just because I could. Please also note at bottom there is list of books but for this collection are talking about 1, 2, 3, which NOT count any short stories {SS} .# books so while shouldn't matter, if you just have to read them in order then suggest looking below for any that are inbetween marked .#, so just to be clear, {previously Ledston Luck} The Long Revenge #4 is not in this set but neither are The Lift {SS} 2.5, The Note {SS} 3.5

The truth is in the evidence

Eddie a stickler for the truth he always knew the evidence would tell the story, with eyes like hawks he did the job so well people couldn’t believe he was the best yet he hid behind the facade of jokes and filthy mouth and tried to look hard, he had a soft side he rarely shows, these stories are like true to life the dedication the CSIs have to get to the truth of a crime but non as good as Eddie. Thank you to the author who knows the insides of the job too I highly recommend these books for lovers of true crime

A great series. Average score 4.6

#1 4.75⭐️
#2 5
#3 4

The main character is a grumpy not easy to get along with CSI, he has a love to hate relationship with DI Benson. But it’s more than just crime, it’s got it all, it’s fast, action packed, and has some psychological content.
One of my most read authors this year.

These books are just the sort of thing I enjoy most - crime investigation with a quirky lead character. Well written by someone who knows the world he is describing, and knows how to tell a story. They may be your sort of book too -give them a go!
