The Cambridgeshire Fens Mysteries: Books 1-5
(2025)(A book in the Philip Dryden series)
An omnibus of novels by Jim Kelly
Five enthralling mysteries from CWA Dagger award-winning author Jim Kelly, set beneath the endless skies of the Cambridgeshire Fens.
‘Intelligent crime fiction — leaves the reader hungry for more.’ Val McDermid, No. 1 bestselling author
These unputdownable and atmospheric crime mysteries are laced with dark secrets and a protagonist who is as flawed as he is determined. The perfect read for fans of Joy Ellis, Caro Ramsay, Ann Cleeves or Elly Griffiths.
The Cambridgeshire Fens are known for their miles of open, remote farmlands and sprawling marshes. The constant threat of flooding and the unpredictable weather make it a difficult terrain to navigate, but the locals wouldn’t wish to be anywhere else. The desolate beauty stretches as far as the eye can see.
MEET PHILIP DRYDEN
Philip Dryden’s beautiful wife has been lying in a coma ever since a horrific car accident he blames himself for. Living alone on his houseboat, Dryden’s guilt has never subsided as he was pulled to safety by an unknown rescuer and failed to save her. His role as an investigative journalist is both his salvation and his curse, as Dryden’s relentless passion for uncovering the truth often drives him into the heart of mysteries that threaten his own safety.
