It's my first serious crime novel - previously I've worked within the cosy genre, mixing crime and gentle comedy but Down Among the Dead  marks my first venture into straightforward thriller territory. I'll still be working within the cosy genre - fans of my popular Granny Smith series will be pleased to see a new title in early summer - but I intend to alternate between series, and Down Among the Dead is the first Chief Inspector Frank Parade wartime mystery - I've already plotted out the second - working title, If Only the Dead Could Talk so I am hoping that readers take to the character of Frank Parade. My team of advance readers have given great reports on this book, calling it thrilling and a real page turner. And I do hope many of you take a chance on this book - you've got nothing to lose if you follow the special offer detailed below.


1940 – France has fallen and Britain stands alone against the might of the German war machine; a fierce battle for supremacy of the air rages in the skies as the Battle of Britain hits full stride.

For Chief Inspector Frank Parade, and his much depleted team there are many challenges to policing the small Welsh mining village of Gilfach Goch, for whilst miles away from the theatres of war the Home Front faces unique challenges of its own. The wartime demands thrown on the country mean that each officer in Parade’s team must do the work of two men – three even.

Soon the already overwhelming workload is increased when not one but two bodies turn up, and Parade finds himself having to investigate two murders as well as cope with everything else thrown his way.

‘Chief Inspector Frank Parade is going to become the new superstar cop. An excellent book.’ *****

The book is available in both paperback and eBook and for a short period you can download the eBook version for zilch - yep believe it or not, whilst the paperback will set you back several pounds you can grab a digital copy to be read on your eReader, computer screen , phone or tablet for free - all I ask is that you please leave a honest review on Amazon, Good Reads or, if you have one, a blog - reviews are the single most valuable tool to any writer - they help greatly to get a book noticed.

Feel let down by the police?

Need something investigated, a crime solved?

Then you need Granny Smith Investigations.

It's actually Mary Alice Smith, despite what it says in the village newsletter. There were several other misprints within the issue and the most humorous being the advert that went - "Wanted: Man to take care of cow that does not smoke or drink." It is also worth noting that one of the First Aid Tips, written by the local ambulance driver, Fred Prendergast claimed that, "the first essential in the treatment of burns is that the patient should be removed from the fire."


It's a not so cozy crime  - available now for the Kindle and FREE  for two days only - go get it, folks.
