This digital bundle includes all 4 books in Lynne Truss's gloriously funny crime series set in 1950s Brighton:

A Shot in the Dark

Winner of the Crimefest Last Laugh Award

Inspector Steine rather enjoys his life as a policeman by the sea. No criminals, no crime, no stress. So it's really rather annoying when an ambitious – not to mention irritating – new constable shows up to work and starts investigating a spate of burglaries.

Could it be that Brighton is in need of a police force after all?

The Man That Got Away

A Times crime novel of the year

It's summer in Brighton and the Brighton Belles are on hand to answer any holidaymaker's queries, no matter how big or small. The quickest way to the station, how many pebbles are on the beach and what exactly has happened to that young man lying in the deckchair with blood dripping from him?

To solve this latest fiendish murder, our trio of detectives must go undercover to infiltrate a notorious Brighton nightspot.

Murder by Milk Bottle

Shortlisted for the Comedy Women in Print Prize

The August bank holiday is approaching and after two extremely high-profile murder cases, Constable Twitten is eagerly anticipating a quiet spell at work. But then they find the bodies – and the milk bottles. Three seemingly unconnected victims have all been killed with the same highly unusual murder weapon.

Can our redoubtable trio solve the case and catch this most curious of killers before they strike again?

Psycho by the Sea

It's September in Brighton and the city is playing host to weeks of endless rain and lashings of villainy. A violent criminal obsessed with hunting policemen has escaped Broadmoor and is rumoured to be headed towards the city, while at Gosling's department store an American researcher has been found dead in the music section.

Have Twitten, Steine and co. finally met their match with this criminal mastermind?
