Book 3 of 7: Bridget Hart

See all formats and editions

Old friendships. Dark secrets. Deadly lies.

When Detective Inspector Bridget Hart returns to her old Oxford college for a reunion dinner, she’s hoping for a fun weekend catching up with old friends. But the reunion takes a macabre turn when body parts are served up at the college feast, and one of her friends is found murdered.

With Bridget’s arch rival Inspector Baxter leading the murder enquiry, and herself a potential suspect, Bridget is forbidden from taking part in the investigation. But that doesn’t stop her from carrying out her own private enquiries.

Bridget soon realises that the murderer is someone known to her. And as the weekend continues and more bodies are found, it becomes clear that they will stop at nothing to get what they want. Can Bridget uncover the dark secrets of the past in time to halt the killing, or will she be next on the murderer’s list?

Set amongst the dreaming spires of Oxford University, the Bridget Hart series is perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, JR Ellis, Faith Martin and classic British murder mysteries.

From the Publisher


When a beautiful, wealthy student is found dead in her room in Oxford’s most prestigious college, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart is called to investigate. The murdered girl appeared to have no enemies, yet was killed in a brutal and bloody attack. Haunted and driven by her own personal tragedy, newly promoted DI Bridget Hart has a lot to prove as she leads her first murder case. Her investigation uncovers a tangled web of lies, lust and ambition, and brings her into conflict with powerful interests. But no one can be above suspicion within the closed and claustrophobic confines of an Oxford college, where students and academics live and work side by side, and a ruthless killer waits to strike again.	When reclusive artist, Gabriel Quinn, is gunned down outside a gallery on Oxford High Street, Detective Inspector Bridget Hart investigates the world of contemporary art, where paintings can change hands for millions in the auction room. Bridget is convinced that the last words spoken by the artist – a mysterious code of 8 digits and a letter – are key to unravelling the mystery of his death. But when her ex-husband, Ben, now a senior detective with the Metropolitan Police in London shows up with new information about the murdered man, Bridget’s personal and professional lives are brought crashing together with dramatic consequences.

Great Series!

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

I love the characters and their typical family issues and considerations that conflict with work and personal life. Oxford is a wonderful setting and I’ve learned so much about the beautiful college town. The detectives are smart and the mysteries are suspenseful and interesting. I plan to read them all. (Reading them in order is not necessary since recaps and details from previous books are included in each story but it’s more fun to read them in sequence)

Merton College Dangers

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2020

Now that I am halfway through this series I will have to slow down with only three more books to look forward to. I like spending time with Bridget and in this case we follow her to a reunion at Merton College where she attended twenty years ago. She believes she is going to have a nice break from routine, but this meeting of old classmates turns deadly. The challenges are many and it certainly is a near thing as events conspire to see more threats to life. I can't describe the plot without spoiling it. This is another engaging, enjoyable book from these talented authors.

Engaging characters and a wonderful setting. I really enjoy how the characters develop in this series. In this case, Bridget takes a bit of a back seat as she's a witness and a friend of the victim. Jake and Ffion step up and ask the difficult questions that really move the case forward despite the myopic efforts if the SIO, who doesn't seem to accomplish much at all.

With each of the author’s books the characters become more interesting and developed. The plot is definitely interesting. Inspector Bridget Hart with her everyday family and personal problems, complicated by her demanding police work-turns her into a real life character. The setting in Oxford, England is a fantastic one. Bridget Hart is a female modern day Inspector Morse.

Disappointing After the First Two

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is the third book in a series of police procedural mysteries set in Oxford. The series features Bridget Hart who is usually leading the investigation. In a twist, Bridget is sidelined from the investigation this time because the investigation is centered around a reunion at her old Oxford college. To be frank, if this were the first book in the series, I might not have read any more. The first two books were solid British mystery stories- not as good as the best British mysteries such as those by the best such as Ann Cleeves, Elly Griffiths, or even Peter Livesey but not many are that good. I enjoyed the Oxford setting, and the stories were inexpensive and relatively entertaining. This book took several wrong turns for me. First, the level of gore and gruesome details was exceedingly high and very unexpected after reading the first two books. Second, one of the continuing characters, Inspector Baxter, was reduced to a blustering, bumbling caricature that seemed inconsistent with how his character had been developing. He was not believable, and his behavior undermined the story. But, to be fair, the convoluted, long delayed motivations of the plot and the digs and references about psychology also undermined the story. There are still things to like in this book. The pacing is brisk, and the pages turn quickly.

The series just keeps getting better

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2020

I was almost to the end of “Do no Evil”, the third book of Bridget Hart’s murder investigations, thinking I was so glad I had the fourth book to start right away. Unfortunately I will have to wait a bit! I have read quite a few Joffey mysteries, and being an American, found them to be so interesting as our cultures vary so much. I think I have learned a lot from these English writers whose character’s everyday lives are somewhat different from ours and certainly seeped in so much history. Their plots are amazing. DI Bridget Hart is such a realistic character who, along with her team members, just keeps getting more fleshed out in each book. The reader will find a really unique mixed bag of people in these novels and I, for one, hope to get to know them better in more than just the fourth sequel.

A suspenseful read with Oxford’s beauty as the perfect backdrop!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2024

Verified Purchase

M.S. Morris’ novels about Bridget Hart and her detective skills are greatly enhanced by the setting: the beauty of Oxford’s colleges and the Machiavellian politics of Academia.
All the characters are very well described and some are delightfully enigmatic too.
One doesn’t want to put down this novel once you have started reading it. It helps distract you from your worries without lacking in substance.
