Order of Chief Inspector Woodend Books
Chief Inspector Charlie Woodend stands as the central figure in Sally Spencer's compelling mystery series, penned by English writer Alan Rustage under his pseudonym. A detective chief inspector working for Scotland Yard, Woodend brings particular authority to cases through his specialized knowledge of England's northern regions.
Spencer launched this captivating series in 1998 with *The Salton Killings*, crafting twenty gripping novels that would span a decade. The final installment, *Fatal Quest*, arrived in 2008—intriguingly serving as Woodend's chronological debut case despite being the series conclusion. Following Woodend's tenure, the literary universe expanded into the DCI Monika Paniatowski series, creating a rich continuation of Spencer's detective fiction world.
