Swanton Morley: A chilling Norfolk Broads crime thriller (DI Tanner Norfolk Broads Murder Mystery Series Book 11) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 5,763 ratings

A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!
A body found hidden in an open church grave, a suspect running in a local election, and a political opponent, willing to do whatever it takes to win.

Returning from his honeymoon with a baby in tow, Tanner arrives at work to find a man being interviewed for a murder he says he didn’t commit. When a body is eventually discovered, Tanner assumes he has his man. But then a far more likely suspect appears, one with blood on his boots and a scratch on his car, who also just happens to be running in the forthcoming by-election.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

Swanton Morley is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the eleventh in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, J M Dalgliesh, and Elly Griffiths into David Blake devotees.

    In past reviews, of the Norfolk Broads crime thrillers, I have boasted that I figured out who the culprit was way before the ending. However, I could not have been more wrong about the culprit in book 11. Wow! Very well done David Blake 👏 thank you for being a great author 😀

    I read a lot of the British DCI books and DCI Tanner is one of the best. I am an American but of primarily UK decent so maybe that's it. This one really shocked me at the end but don't cheat. Read it the way the author intended. You will enjoy it more. :-)

    What a letdown , I have read all the series and until now have enjoyed them all. Why the change in the character ? Now married with a baby he should be softer instead he now sounds like a thug. HIS LANGUAGE is Disgusting ! So disrespectful to his colleagues especially the ladies and your readers. The story was flat and predictable, so not like his other books. I WILL try one more book but if this trend continues this author will be added to my Do Not Read list,

    5.0 out of 5 stars Swanton Morley....it's another "must read" by David Blake!
    Reviewed in Australia on March 6, 2024
    I wished I hadn't read it so quickly because, well, now what shall I do!! Apart from waiting for the next and last in the series of DI Tanner! I hope we don't have to wait too long for David Blake to write this last one....and I know it will be just brilliant! It's about time the DI Tanner books were made into a TV series. I can't imagine anything better!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good humoured read with a great twist in the storyline!!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2025
    Good twist in the storyline at the end. There's also the usual wry self-deprecating DCI Tanner's views and treatment of victims and suspects alike. Including his superiors and underlings.
    Easy flowing storyline using simple English words making it a fast read.
