Series background & context
The Redmond and Haze Mysteries drop readers into Victorian England, where murders are messy, motives are tangled, and the detectives themselves are an unlikely pair. Jason Redmond is an American army surgeon who has come to England carrying scars and skills from the battlefield. Daniel Haze is a parish constable in the village of Birch Hill, a steady local man suddenly handed his first major case.
Their partnership begins when the body of a young man is found stuffed into the tomb of a medieval knight in Murder in the Crypt. Haze is out of his depth and under pressure, while Jason, as the village’s newest and most suspicious arrival, could have stayed well clear. Instead he becomes Daniel’s unexpected ally, using his medical training and outsider’s eye to spot details others miss.
From there the series grows outward. Early books stay close to Birch Hill and its surroundings: a woman found near a supposedly haunted abbey, a naked corpse strapped to a mill’s waterwheel, a gentlewoman dead in a Romani caravan, a curate buried in someone else’s grave. Each case exposes petty vendettas and buried scandals in what first looks like a quiet rural community.
As Jason and Daniel’s roles evolve – with Haze rising in the police ranks and Redmond moving between city and countryside – the investigations follow them into wider Victorian society. Later books take them aboard a ship carrying treasures from Egypt, into respectable London neighborhoods hiding brutal secrets, and into the orbit of powerful crime bosses and fashionable spiritualists. The crimes grow more elaborate, from bodies posed like mermaids on the Thames to murders linked to séances, Tudor manors, or old gang rivalries.
Despite the grim subject matter, the books keep their focus on character. Jason and Daniel both wrestle with family responsibilities, old guilt, and the strain that dangerous work puts on marriages and friendships. Their relationship deepens from wary cooperation to genuine friendship, and their families begin to intertwine in ways that raise the personal cost of failure.
Readers can expect traditional whodunits with a historical twist: careful clues, interrogations, and red herrings, along with the early stirrings of modern forensic thinking. The series balances cozy elements – recurring side characters, a vivid village, domestic subplots – with darker touches drawn from Victorian poverty, crime, and superstition, making each book feel both accessible and rooted in its time.
