HIDDEN CRIMES (Book 1 of a twisty British crime mystery)

HIDDEN CRIMES is a gripping British crime mystery featuring Detective Chief Inspector Sophie Allen as she investigates a series of disturbing murders across Dorset and beyond. When a young woman, Donna Goodenough, is found murdered on Spring Hill and her mother is discovered dead in their cottage, Sophie faces a case filled with unanswered questions and carefully concealed secrets.

The investigation quickly focuses on Vilis Berzins, a Latvian hotel worker and Donna’s lover, but the evidence refuses to fit neatly. A mysterious phone call, missing personal records, suspicious photographs, and another murdered woman in Bournemouth suggest that something far more sinister is unfolding. As Sophie digs deeper, she uncovers a trail of domestic violence, false identities, manipulation, and carefully constructed attempts to frame an innocent man.

With danger reaching closer to her own family, Sophie must rely on her sharp instincts, forensic evidence, and understanding of criminal psychology to expose the truth. HIDDEN CRIMES is a tense British police procedural packed with murder, deception, hidden identities, and unexpected twists.
