The Brokenwood Mysteries

Detective Inspector Mike Shepherd arrives on assignment in Brokenwood, a small town where memories-and animosities--run deep. He's an experienced cop with a 1971 classic car, a collection of country music cassettes, and an indeterminate number of ex-wives. The new woman in his life is his assistant, Detective Constable Kristin Sims, a by-the-book investigator 15 years younger than her boss's car.
