Inexperienced detective Ruby Knight is thrown a curve ball when a spate of burglaries results in a homicide.

Commuters in the sleepy suburban town of St. Albans become alarmed when a series of aggravated burglaries begins.

DC Knight and her new partner, experienced but cynical DI Cooper, are in charge of tracking the gang responsible. But the pressure mounts as the attacks become increasingly violent.

They pull out all the stops to catch the troublemakers, but in the meantime another type of criminal sees an opportunity.

Will DC Knight be able to separate the wheat from the chaff and see the facts for what they are, or will pressure from on high to solve the case let a dangerous individual off the hook?

SCORNED is the second book in the DC Ruby Knight investigations series. The full list of books is as follows:

1. THE DEEP END
2. SCORNED
3. BENEATH THE SURFACE
4. BORDERLINE

These books are all FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback. Denver Murphy is the author of the best-selling DSI Jeffrey Brandt cop-turned-serial killer trilogy which begins with ONE STEP AHEAD. Plus look out for his sensational new release, YOUR COLD EYES.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a full-time editor and writer from England. My novels are mainly crime thrillers, with a focus on getting into the minds of the antagonists whilst following the detectives trying to hunt them down.

I want my readers to be taken on an exciting but sometimes uncomfortable journey in everyday settings, where relatable people find themselves involved in the most serious of crimes. My books explore why some of us succumb to the darkness that resides in us all.

Revenge and robbery weave into multiples sets of homicides with disparate motives - with women both conniving and too clever for their own good.

This book didn’t make much sense, and the ending seemed incomplete. A junior detective would never get away with the attitude Ruby has!

All the main female characters are complete bitches and almost all the Male characters are stupid. It was hard to care about any of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gritty and Exciting

Exciting, gripping, thrilling, enthralling are all great words to describe this story.

This is a real page turner that had me up half the night because I simply had to find out what happened next - each scene leaves you excited for the next scene, so maybe don't start it if you have something important to do the next day!

The story is a British police thriller and follows the plucky young detective, Ruby and her new, more experienced, partner. It's gritty and gives a real sense of what it must be like to be a police detective in the UK.

Highly Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ruby Knight's second case
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2019

Ruby Knight is back and her new case may be even more gruesome that the last. A series of burglaries lead to murder in a very callous way. We get to see the POV of the murderers who do not seem to care about human life, it was chilling to read their warped perspective.
There is a woman in an unhappy marriage who plots to get revenge on her husband. How the two plots intertwine is an exciting read, keeping you guessing at every turn.
I great read for anyone who loves crime fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, addictive and irresistible - Very highly recommended second book featuring D.C Ruby Knight.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 30, 2019

So good that I got actual chills! It’s extremely exciting, it’s hard to stop reading it too quickly because you want to devour the whole book, but you kind of want to slow down as well so that you don’t finish the book! D.C.Ruby Knight is my favourite heroine right now, she’s young, hungry, quick-minded, astute and unafraid to take the lead and follow her intuition. If you’ve read The Deep End, or even if not, you’d be crazy not to read this. Please, please keep writing these fantastic books, Denver Murphy! Thank you.
