R.S. Breed

R.S. Breed writes atmospheric literary cozy mystery — stories where the weather is a character, the village keeps its own counsel, and the truth arrives a sentence later than you expected.

The Whitstrand Silence is set on a fictional stretch of the Yorkshire coast where a retired war-crimes investigator, a second-hand bookshop, and a young detective sergeant from Leeds collide over the kind of secrets fishing villages have been keeping since before anyone thought to write them down.

Written for readers of Louise Penny, Ann Cleeves, Anthony Horowitz, and Elly Griffiths — anyone who believes a good mystery should leave you thinking about the people long after you've solved the puzzle.
