Serial Investigations Books 1-5 Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 6 ratings

Read the first five books in the Serial Investigations series!

From Bloodless:

How do you solve a murder…
… When you’re the prime suspect?

A body cut up into pieces and left in Highgate Wood. It sounds like the most exciting case that private detectives Ram and Will have had to deal with since leaving their FBI training and returning to the UK.

As each new body is piled up amongst the trees, the stakes get higher – and Serial Investigations London embraces their first real challenge.

But Ram’s rock star lifestyle – staying out all days of the week, drinking too much, and having hot gay sex with a different man every night – soon catches up with him when the police realise there’s just one link that connects the bodies.

And it’s him.

Will faces a battle around the clock to prevent his best friend from being put away for life – and while the two of them face their own demons, there’s a secret hanging over their heads that might just bring it all crashing down. And while he fights to keep it together, the one thing Will can’t bear to face is the fact that he wishes his best friend was something more.

If you’re a fan of extreme slow-burn friends to lovers romance, high-stakes drama mystery thrillers, or sharply witty gay men, you’ll love Serial Investigations. Jump into the action from the very beginning with Bloodless, the first book in a series you won’t dare to put down.

Click 'Buy Now' to enter the minds of highly-skilled detectives as they take on a serial killer who may just get the upper hand – while they battle their secret attraction.

    This collection has the first five stories in the “Serial Investigation” series, and as it’s a series that lends itself well to bingeable reading, the collection aspect was much appreciated— it’s nice to be able to move easily from the first book to the next, and so on. While each story has a different mystery to be solved, the through line (and heart) of the series is the dynamic between Ram and Will. As individual characters and as a duo these two are…complicated, in ways both intriguing and frustrating. The slow burn is slow, but definitely there, and combined with the “work” part of the work/life balance, it’s easy to be drawn into their world, which involves dealing with mysteries with varying degrees of competence and dealing with baggage (or, not dealing with it), see also varying degrees of competence. There’s something deeply messy about them, both personally and professionally, and as I continued to read their stories, that messiness appealed to me more and more. They’re frustrating, endearing, interesting, lively personalities, and 5 books in, I’m definitely along for the ride and looking forward to more of their stories.
    *I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this series! Will and Ram are interesting characters, and the plot is engaging. I will have to go see if there is a number 6.
  • Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023
    Wow, is this a series that grabbed me and held on. I honestly figured even if this was a great series I'd be ready to quit after five books, but no way! I've loved all the mysteries from serial killers and their copycats, missing persons, killers focused on social media, locked room puzzles and more classics but the real draw is our two characters Ram and Will. I have to see them through to the end. We start with massive amounts of Unresolved Sexual Tension so thick you can cut it with a knife and that is definitely not helped by Ram's destructive drinking and Will's inability to leave then our author puts them in a one bed trope, a kiss, a first time and even this doesn't resolve the tension things only get worse until there is a break. On to the rest of these stories so I can see these two figure out who's playing them and pulling their strings and let me watch them do it. Reminds me a bit of some of Gregory Ashe's complicated men and if you like those I think you'll like these.

    5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite series
    Reviewed in Mexico on January 4, 2023
    I have to say that this is the third time I have read the series until this volume. After finding out about the new posts I found it rude not to start from the beginning again and that's because this series is worth every second of reading, perfectly carried out, I felt stress, happiness, sadness, joy... Simply wonderful, I love Ram and Will.

    Thank you for all your effort embodied in this incredible work, I do not understand why there are not more reviews being so good.
