The DCI Isaac Cook Thriller Series: Books 1 - 6

The DCI Isaac Cook Crime Thriller Series Boxset

By: Phillip Strang

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Detective Chief Inspector Isaac Cook should have been made a superintendent by now. Tall, urbane, and one of London's finest detectives, he's been held back by office politics—not his results. Alongside DI Larry Hill and veteran Sergeant Wendy Gladstone, Cook investigates the murders that others can't solve.

Perfect for fans of Peter James, Ian Rankin, and Lynda La Plante.

Murder is a Tricky Business (Book 1) – A soap opera actress has vanished, and everyone assumes she's been murdered. But it's not the first time she's gone missing. Why has DCI Cook been pulled from serious crimes to search for her?

Murder House (Book 2) – A corpse in the fireplace of an old house—it's been there for thirty years. The main suspects are elderly, dying, or already dead. The family believes dirty laundry shouldn't be aired in public, even if it means a murderer walks free.

Murder is Only a Number (Book 3) – Before she left, she carved a number in blood on his chest: the number 2. But if this is her first murder, why start at two? The woman prowls London, killing men who have wronged her—or have they?

Murder in Little Venice (Book 4) – A dismembered corpse floats in a London canal. Isaac Cook is baffled—is it gang-related or something more? Whatever the reason, it's clearly a warning, and it won't be the last body.

Murder is the Only Option (Book 5) – A man thought long dead returns to exact revenge on those who destroyed his life. His only concern is protecting his wife and daughter. He will stop at nothing, and the bodies are piling up.

Murder in Notting Hill (Book 6) – Two women murdered within an hour of each other, miles apart, with nothing in common. One is young, wealthy, the daughter of a famous man; the other is poor, hardworking, and unknown. What connects them?

Six mysteries. One relentless detective. London's darkest secrets.

The AI voice needs some help

I enjoyed the stories but the AI voice just lacks in my opinion. Were this read by an Englishman, or a cast even…5stars

Avoid all AI narrated books

AI narration is soulless, flat and boring. This story is repetitious, and the plot fails to develop. I will hereafter avoid all AI narration even if the book is free. Lesson learned. In my favorite books, I love the narrator as much as I do the writer.
