The Complete Millson & Scobie Detective Series, Books 1-7 (DCI Millson & DS Scobie #1-7)

Malcolm Forsythe
4.41/5 (1105 ratings)
In this 7-book box set:

BOOK 1: WITHOUT A TRACE
Eight-year-old Maisie Brown is kidnapped on the day of Tanniford’s annual fête. The only road out of the village was closed. Nobody could have left. Chief Inspector Millson knows someone from the village is responsible. And that Maisie’s still there somewhere — dead or alive . . .

BOOK 2: A COUSIN REMOVED
Daphne Douglas drowns, surrounded by witnesses who say she slipped overboard accidentally. Millson is unconvinced — he’s sure her husband is to blame, but he can’t find a motive. Then, an unsolved disappearance puts Max Douglas in the frame. And Millson knows this time it’s murder. Can he find the link to prove it?

BOOK 3: THE BOOK LADY
Janet West’s blood-soaked body is found on the banks of the River Colne. She ran a mobile library, touring local villages — a friend to the lonely and housebound. Millson wonders how such a well-liked woman could meet this fate. But he and Detective Sergeant Scobie soon discover there was more to Janet’s life than the library. A lot more . . .

BOOK 4: A FATAL REUNION
John Dennison is strangled in his bed. Suspicion falls on Dennison’s neighbours — Albert and Irene Smedley. They were heard arguing the night of his death. But the truth lies further back in the past, as Millson and Scobie uncover a story that dates from the Second World War. Four young girls swore an oath of secrecy. Can the detectives break their silence before someone else dies?

BOOK 5: DEATH OF A SECRETARY
On a warm night, Trudy Thornton jumps out of a parked car onto a country lane. As she walks away, she hears the car start. She expects it to drive off, but instead she’s blinded by headlights. The next day her body is found on a busy main road. Millson knows immediately this is no ordinary hit-and-run. And the postmortem shows something Trudy was two months pregnant.

BOOK 6: ONLY LIVING WITNESS
A long-buried body is found under a patio in the village of Great Yeldham. Then another body is discovered on nearby mudflats. Wealthy businessman Robert Forman, whose father owned the house in Great Yeldham, was witnessed sailing his yacht close by. But Forman dies before he can be questioned. Millson and Scobie have just one witness left — she’s in hiding. And the killer will stop at nothing to silence her.

BOOK 7: LAST KNOWN ADDRESS
Twelve years ago, au pair Katrina Kovacs disappeared from the Layton family’s lavish home, Hawkhills. No one ever tried to find her. Now Katrina’s father has been released on parole and he wants answers.
