THE DETECTIVE
Detective Chief Inspector David Webb is in his mid-forties with plentiful brown hair, a hard mouth, and bleak grey eyes. He possesses a tenacious and observant nature, with a knack for delving into intricate details. Webb’s determination shines through as he navigates his investigations, evaluating suspects and analysing clues with a touch of scepticism. He combines his pragmatic and focused approach to work with an artistic appreciation of beauty.

THE SETTING
The fictional county of Broadshire, in the south-west corner of England, exudes charm and picturesque allure. It’s populated by a smattering of idyllic, historic villages – their proximity to the Cotswolds apparent in the honey-coloured stone cottages and the increasingly hilly surrounding countryside.
