An Accidental Death

"Grainger has been memorably described as ‘creator of the greatest fictional sleuth you’ve never heard of.' Now, having sold a million self-published copies of his gentle, character-driven Norfolk-set police procedurals, he’s about to become a crime writing superstar with their first paperback publication. An Accidental Death introduces David ‘DC’ Smith and the Kings Lake police as a routine investigation into a drowning spirals into something more sinister. The quirky Sergeant Smith is a copper’s copper with unerring instincts, but he’s not alone—Grainger has created an entire universe filled with memorable characters you’ll want to invest in. And with 19 fabulous books incoming, there’ll be plenty of opportunities. Pitch-perfect crime writing. 10/10."—Express UK

“Grainger’s stories do what the best of literature has always done, explore the mysteries and varieties of life and what it means to be a human being… It would be hard to find a better use of reading time.. I’m confident that if detective fiction readers ever decide to create their own Mt. Rushmore, the likeness of David Conrad Smith would be prominent among the honorees.”

"DC Smith’s investigatory methods are unorthodox, rather old-fashioned, but Smith’s thoroughness and unwillingness to close cases for the sake of expediency pay off.  Smith’s modus operandi sounds almost simplistic, though it’s anything but—he’s thorough deliberate, and a past master at the art of interviewing suspects. New readers might want to inhale books 1-16 before reading Some Sort of Justice. Set aside some time because Peter Grainger’s books are addictive."
