MURDER AT HAWESWATER a gripping British crime mystery (Detective Simon Wayland Mysteries)

By Thorpe, David M.

First published 2026

A GRIPPING BRITISH DETECTIVE SERIES SET IN THE ATMOSPHERIC LAKE DISTRICT. Detective Simon Wayland hoped his move to the Lake District would bring a quieter life — fewer late nights and fewer bodies. But when the wreckage of a plane is discovered in Haweswater Reservoir, Wayland immediately recognises the aircraft registration. As divers search the wreckage, they uncover human remains — including the body of a police detective who disappeared during the original investigation. Now Wayland and his small Cumbrian team must reopen a case that powerful criminals believed was buried forever. Because someone went to great lengths to keep the truth at the bottom of Haweswater. Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter Robinson, and LJ Ross. A seasoned detective with decades of experience, Detective Inspector Simon Wayland has traded the chaos of city policing for the quieter rhythms of the Lake District. Thoughtful, observant and quietly stubborn, Wayland prefers patience and instinct to flashy police work. He enjoys the simple pleasures of life among the fells — long drives in his beloved vintage MG, a good pint in a village pub and the steady partnership of a small but loyal team.
