Order of Lambert & Hook Books

J.M. Gregson's Lambert and Hook series presents British crime fiction centered around the investigative partnership of Superintendent John Lambert and Detective Sergeant Bert Hook. These police officers operate in the Gloucestershire countryside of England, united not only by their detective work but also by their shared passion for golf.

The series launched in 1989 with "Murder at the Nineteenth" and continues to deliver new installments for crime fiction enthusiasts. Gregson presents the books in both publication and chronological sequence, making them accessible to readers who prefer following the cases in order.

In "For Sale – With Corpse," the second installment of the series, Lambert and Hook face the murder of an estate agent. Their investigation centers on a tight circle of potential suspects: the victim's four employees, one employee's spouse, and an alcoholic vagrant whose knowledge proves more significant than initially apparent. The case challenges the duo to untangle motives and secrets within this contained group of individuals.
