Jenny Cooper is a coroner, and the series M.R. Hall built around her sits between the inquest and the criminal investigation. Eight books run from The Coroner in 2009 to A Life to Kill, also catalogued as The Last Post, in 2016. The Disappeared followed the first within the same year, and The Redeemed, The Flight, The Innocent, The Chosen Dead and The Burning fill the gap. Divorced women, suicide, death and mothers and sons recur as subjects, and the series is recorded as likely complete.
