The First Stella Cole Boxset

‘The First Stella Cole Boxset’ by Andy Maslen is an engrossing book. The protagonist of the amazing trilogy is Detective Inspector Stella Cole. As her husband is killed by a hit-and-run driver, Stella Cole, an aspirational detective inspector with the Metropolitan Police Service, is faced with tragedy.

Her grief leads her to drugs and alcohol. After taking a compassionate leave of absence, Stella returns to work and surreptitiously reexamines her husband’s death, growing suspicious of a cover-up.
