Death on Cromer Beach

The Norfolk Murders #1 / 7
by Ross Greenwood
Death on Cromer Beach (The Norfolk Murders #1) by Ross Greenwood
Unrated

A brutal double murder on a Norfolk beach horrifies the town of Cromer. The way the victims died is chilling and so Norfolk’s Major Investigation Team task DS Ashley Knight to manage the case.

It soon becomes clear that the murders were carefully planned and the finger of suspicion points to an organised crime gang, but as the evidence mounts, a far more sinister theory emerges.

Ashley has been allocated a young but opinionated partner in Hector Fade, and sparks soon fly. Annoyingly for Ashley, Hector is no pushover and looks destined for great things. When the pair delve into the case, they struggle to understand who would inflict such suffering on their victims and hope the crime is a one off from a deranged and dangerous individual. But then another body is found.

There’s a killer on the loose who wants them to believe that the beach has a memory. They must be caught, or others will meet their end by the sea.

I've written 22 books in eleven years (even I can do that maths). They're a range of suspense novels, police procedural and psychological thrillers. My detective series starring DI John Barton starts with The Snow Killer and has sold half a million copies, and my Norfolk Murders series with DI Ashley Knight begins with her battling to catch a serial killer in Death on Cromer Beach.

I was born in 1973 in Peterborough and lived there until I was 20, attending The King's School in the city. I then began a rather nomadic existence, living and working all over the country and various parts of the world.

I found myself returning to Peterborough many times over the years, usually when things had gone wrong. It was on one of these occasions that I met my partner about 100 metres from my back door whilst walking a dog. Two children swiftly followed. I'm still a little stunned by the pace of it even though they're both at senior school now.

My first book, Chancer, was written after I decided to do something challenging while my knees permitted. No skydiving for me. I became a prison officer for four years at HMP Peterborough. Ironically it was the four a.m. feed which gave me the opportunity to finish the book as unable to get back to sleep I completed it in the early morning hours, then went to work in the jail!

The first Barton book, The Snow Killer hit the coveted number one spot on KOBO and AUDIBLE, with the rest of the series not far behind. It's set in various locations in the 'Boro, or the surrounding villages.

I've also written six detective books in a Norfolk series now, culminating in Death on the Norfolk Express! There have also been incidents at Cromer, Hunstanton, Bacton, Overstrand, Fakenham, Holt and Sheringham. There are three more planned, perhaps Wells or maybe one in Norwich, and at least one more Barton! My publishers kindly told me I had reached three quarters of a million sales with them in Dec 2025.
