Publisher's summary

Truth is a wild beast.

Approach with patience and zeal, else it eludes you.

Beatrice has developed a delicate nose for lies. It gets the old hound into trouble all the time - with criminals, Scotland Yard politics, and even her friends.

Battling crime by day and her own demons by night, the question remains: justice or the law?

Behind Closed Doors sees Beatrice seconded to Switzerland. Wealthy, powerful men are committing suicide. Or are they? When the same DNA is found at each scene, DI Stubbs suspects someone is dispensing a personal retribution. Beneath the chocolate and charm, Zurich hides many secrets.

In Raw Material, Beatrice is divided. Hunting a sex offender on London Underground while trying to investigate illegal activity on a Welsh beach stretches her to her limits. Her partner and neighbour decide to assist. But amateur detectives and professional criminals make a bad mix.

Time for a sabbatical in Tread Softly. A gourmet trip to the north of Spain is exactly what DI Stubbs needs. Until she meets an old acquaintance who lures her into an investigation. Beatrice is up to her neck in missing persons, murder, corruption, and Rioja.

If you enjoy Kate Atkinson, Patricia Highsmith or Sue Grafton, you'll love Boxset One.

What readers are saying:

"If you've never encountered Beatrice, you have the most almighty thrill coming."

"So refreshing to find a heroine as fabulous and flawed as the rest of us."

"Not since Miss Marple have I warmed so much to a female detective as to Beatrice Stubbs."

Enjoyable

Beatrice quite grew on me as the books progressed. One or two huh? Moments in book 1 but she grew through the books and I wouldn’t mind listening to more with her amusing mixed metaphors.

First story improbable

in the first story, they have DNA samples, yet do you not know the gender of the person they are seeking. DNA profiles Regular Show the gender of the contributor. Thus, the story is improbable at its heart.

Add my name to the Beatrice Stubbs Fan Club list

This 3 volume set was a bargain well worth the 1-credit! I'm glad I decided to give this series a shot. Stubbs is strong yet vulnerable, complex yet simple, smart yet just foolish enough to end up in trouble - makes for an excellent set of stories! Loved the narrator, I thought she handled the various languages and accents very well. I also enjoyed getting to know this cast of interesting and endearing supporting characters. I wonder what's in store for them in future books? I also enjoyed the international intrigue that factors heavily in these stories. Sign me up for the fan club, I'm hooked!

Not my favorite

The first book was very hard to get into. Enjoyed 2 and 3 rd books more. Almost sent it back. Much better once you get into characters

Impossible to control.

Mechanics wrong. Can't adjust chapters or what you are listening to. Had to just quit listening
