Visiting Lilly – Book 1 – Jake Talbot Investigates mystery series

FREE Amazon download 17th Nov – 21st Nov 2017

Why should a man at a Surrey police station go ballistic because someone tries to visit Lilly, his elderly grandmother?

Detective Inspector Jake Talbot is intrigued, and this little puzzle might serve to distract him from sorrows of a Christmas past. Soon he is entangled with Frankie, an odd young man who claims to have met Lilly in her youth. Talbot dismisses the notion of time travel, but then discovers the Ministry of Defence has been monitoring Frankie since his friend disappeared ten years previously. Forced to work with the MOD, Talbot unearths family secrets and betrayals. The families act ruthlessly to prevent him from discovering the facts, colluding to ruin him.

If Frankie is innocent, Talbot won’t let him be victimised. An uneasy understanding grows between them as they follow the evidence, for only the truth will allow Frankie to visit Lilly.

Featured Book: Good Investigations by Ben Westerham

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Good-InvestigationsSouth London. The 1980s. David Good, a morally confused and womanising private investigator, is hired by a ridiculously beautiful blonde to help her fend off the attentions of a serial blackmailer. But he’s barely got to grips with the woman’s keen sense of self-interest when he stumbles on to something far more unpleasant.

As he digs deeper, he finds there is more than one woman out there in dire need of his help. For once, despite the obvious risk to his own carelessly maintained health, he finds he can’t stop himself going out on a limb in an effort to put an end to some particularly unpleasant behaviour. It’s quite possible that his trade-mark sense of humour won’t be enough to see him safely out the other side of this particular engagement. But time’s running out if he’s going to put an end to a great deal of suffering.

Join David Good as he seeks to simultaneously unravel both the crime and the woman.

By Mystery Reads Curator 1 Comment

AJournalofSinA village, isolated by a severe storm, and a young officer, alone and out of her depth. A troubled priest is brutally murdered, leaving behind a journal of the resident’s confessional secrets; secrets certain people would prefer he took to the grave.

About Peril by Frank Howell Evans

Free on kindle! Detective Jules Poiret falls ill. From his hospital bed he and his assistant Miss Sarah Long have to solve the murder of the lady on the bus.

According to Wikipedia, Jules Poiret was inspired by Sherlock Holmes and in turn inspired Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot. Created in 1909 by writer Frank Howel Evans, Jules Poiret is one of the grandfathers of the British detective genre.

This year sees Sophie Hannah writing the first new Hercule Poirot book in 39 years, The Monogram Murders, the first new Lord Peter Wimsey book and the first new Albert Campion book since the death of their respective original writers. It also sees the publication of the stories of detective Jules Poiret on Amazon Kindle for the first time.

Bad Night by Nigel Cooper

By Mystery Reads Curator Leave a Comment

Bad Night by Nigel CooperJust when you thought it couldn’t get any worse…

Based on a true story

A short story about a young man who thought his 15-mile journey across London late one night could not possibly get any worse – talk about Murphy’s Law on steroids. When he eventually does reach his house, things get worse; much worse.

What makes Bad Night even more interesting is the fact that it is based on a true story. This actually happened to a friend of mine several years ago. We’ve all heard somebody recount something bizarre, unusual or just plain outrageous, that happened to them, or somebody they know, and you probably thought to yourself, ‘you couldn’t make it up.’ Well, in this case I didn’t have to as it really happened. Naturally I’ve changed the names of the two characters in the story to protect their identity.

Targeted Age Group:: 13 to 48
