Looking for a brilliant bestselling murder mystery with a feisty female detective?

DETECTIVE HILLARY GREENE IS SOLVING THE COLD CASES NO ONE ELSE COULD CRACK.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A REVISED EDITION OF A BOOK FIRST PUBLISHED AS WALK A NARROW MILE.

Three missing young women. One evil stalker. But Hillary doesn’t think it all adds up.

Hillary is recovering from the vicious attack by her stalker. It appears that he is also behind the disappearance and murder of three women. Her bosses want these unsolved cases closed, but Hillary has a theory that will shock everyone.

However, as the truth comes to light, Hillary and the team are faced with a dire emergency — can they prevent an imminent murder?

Hillary Greene has returned to Thames Valley Police HQ, acting as a cold-case consultant for the Crime Review Team, looking into murders which the police have never been able to solve.

She wasn’t sure she wanted to go back. But solving crimes is irresistible for Hillary Greene. And it doesn’t hurt that her new boss is devastatingly handsome.

This is a crime mystery full of well-observed characters, which will have you gripped from start to the absolutely thrilling conclusion.

MURDER NEVER MISSES is the fourteenth in a series of page-turning crime thrillers set in Oxfordshire.

THE DETECTIVE
DI Hillary Greene
An attractive, single woman nearing the landmark age of fifty, Hillary Greene was a police officer of many years’ experience (earning the rank of DI) and came up through the ranks. Consequently, she knew how the system worked, and was always fiercely loyal to the force without being blinkered to its faults. Forced to retire early through no fault of her own, she has now returned to the force as a civilian consultant on cold cases. She still enjoys a rather enigmatic relationship with the wily Commander Marcus Donleavy, but it is her new boss, the very attractive Steven Crayle, who is likely to cause her the most problems now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the last one with some great twists
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2023

In this book the subplot from the last book takes center stage. Hillary is looking into the case of the three missing girls and another detective has been brought in to look for the stalker who attacked Hillary in the last book.

There’s a lot of personal angst here as Hillary wonders if she’s lost her touch, has being a victim changes her and can she keep doing the job? She’s also reckoning with the growing relationship with Steven.

The setup investigating the crimes is frustrating because they can’t find much and Hillary just has an itch that she’s missing something. The stalker is playing games with her and she’s annoyed. Steven’s growing feelings have made him even more protective and Hillary is conflicted about that, both enjoying it and despising it in equal measure.

As the story hits critical mass there are some very interesting twists. Some things come straight out of left field and that’s annoying as I like a mystery that gives me clues to be able to solve them. We don’t get that in the way we usually do here. And it’s super annoying how long it takes Hillary and her team to cotton on to a couple of very obvious things. We’ve been told through 14 books how astute she is…there is no way she would miss something this obvious.

But my enjoyment of the series is redeemed from the last book’s miss so I a, happy to be able to continue my binge.

This is another great police story. Hillary is just a wonderful character. The way she has developed over these 14 books is nothing short of amazing. She really feels like a very good friend. I really enjoy the way her mind works when it comes to solving these police crimes.

Hillary Greene was back at Thames Valley Police HQ working in the Crime Review Team on cold cases. She returned after an attack by the stalker who'd been taunting her for some time, and was determined to solve the missing persons cases she was working on, plus catch the stalker. Hillary was sure the cases were linked - she just had to find how. As her 2IC, Jimmy, worked beside her, they interviewed the missing women's family members multiple times. And nothing would link together. Hillary was annoyed and frustrated. When she came up with a theory which she knew everyone else wouldn't believe, she followed it through on her own...

Would Hillary and her team find the answers they sought before it was too late, and Hillary found herself in deeper trouble?

Murder Never Misses is the 14th in the DI Hillary Greene series by Faith Martin and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Hillary's determination; her strength of mind and character. Jimmy is great, with the loyalty he gives his boss. All in all, it's an excellent series that I'm loving. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't read this novel before going to sleep
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

I’ve discovered I don’t like stalker novels, even when they’re well-written and gripping.

“Murder Never Misses,” the 14th novel in the DI Hillary Greene series by British author Faith Martin, is the third in a row with a substantive stalker sub-theme. We know who the stalker is – a policeman working in Greene’s own Oxford / Kidlington police station. And we know who the victim is – Greene herself. We also know that he has stalked before, and he likes to visit a nearby woods and talk with “his girls.”

Narrowly escaping a serious injury at the hands of the stalker in the previous story, Greene convinces her superintendent to allow her to investigate the cold cases of three missing women, while another officer investigates her stalker case. It’s a dicey request – they know the same stalker was involved in the earlier disappearances.

As the investigations get underway, a college student assigned to Greene’s team is unknowingly feeding details about the cases to the stalker himself, and Greene and her colleagues are finding themselves outguessed at every turn. All the time the tension is mounting.

“Murder Never Misses” is the kind of story you can’t read in one sitting with a experiencing a serious case of high blood pressure. Better to set it down for a time while you recover.

In addition to the DI Hillary Greene novels, Martin (a pen name for Jacquie Walton) has also published the Ryder and Loveday novels as well as the Jenny Sterling mysteries. Under the name Joyce Cato, she has published several non-series detective stories. Both Cato and Martin are also pen names for Walton. (Walton has another pen name as well – Maxine Barry, under which she wrote 14 romance novels.) A native of Oxford, she lives in a village in Oxfordshire.

This installment of the Hillary Greene books will keep you on the edge of your seat, even with frequent breaks. My advice: read it, but make a point of not reading it before falling asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting and dramatic end to the story of Hillary's stalker
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2023

Hillary has been stalked by a unknown policeman for the last 3 novels by Faith Martin. This novel is the climax of that story line and, as expected, Hillary gets her man. Along with the stalker's story there is what was thought to be a separate set of 3 missing women, presumed dead, that seems to be connected with the stalker. There are many leads to follow and a large amount of boring casework along the way, but intense action and danger for Hillary. The romance with her boss proceeds apace. The climax of the story and the arrest of the stalker is quite intense and suspenseful. I rate this story 8.5 of 10

Stories always become more exciting when they get personal. And you can’t get much more personal than a stalker who has put a knife to your throat. Naturally, Hillary Greene wants to identify and catch her stalker, but it’s complicated. The stalker could be responsible for three murders.

While another detective is brought in to track down the stalker, Hillary investigates the disappearance of the three women. At first, it has all the makings of another cold case review, but progress is non-existent until a slip up by the stalker offers a glimmer of hope. Then it becomes a race to prevent another murder.

Like all the previous books, this is another complex and twisting story that will keep you guessing. The menace of the stalker is always in the background, like a dark cloud, heightening the tension. With romance and plenty of humour to lighten the mix, this is another entertaining and involving crime story that retains all the important elements of the previous stories while progressing the backstory.

While there’s no need to read the previous thirteen novels to enjoy this one, why deny yourself the pleasure of such a consistently good series?
