David Blake

David Blake is a number one internationally bestselling British crime writer whose DI Tanner series is set within the atmospheric landscape of the Norfolk Broads. A keen sailor who spends much of his time on the water, Blake uses his intimate knowledge of the Broads — its waterways, villages, and isolated beauty — to create mysteries that are inseparable from their setting. The DI Tanner Norfolk Broads Murder Mystery series has grown to over ten novels, following a detective navigating crimes in a landscape where remote locations and tight-knit communities create perfect conditions for murder. Bluebell Wood, the tenth instalment, involves a body found hanging, a murdered historian with an unpublished book, and a mysterious cottage hidden in the shadows — all while DCI Tanner's wedding approaches. The series combines dark, atmospheric settings with traditional detective plotting and touches of humour and romance. Blake has sold over a million books and has consistently topped the crime thriller charts. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers cosy yet chilling crime fiction set in one of England's most distinctive landscapes, perfect for fans of atmospheric British mysteries.
