Of course our eBook of the Month is in keeping wit

Of course our eBook of the Month is in keeping with our focus on National Crime Reading Month!

The stylish wartime whodunnit, Murder at the Ritz by Jim Eldridge, is only 99p on the Amazon Kindle store this month 👀

August 1940. On the streets of London, locals watch with growing concern as German fighter planes plague the city’s skyline. But inside the famous Ritz Hotel, the cream of society continues to enjoy all the glamour and comfort that money can buy during wartime – until an anonymous man is discovered with his throat slashed open.

Detective Chief Inspector Coburg is called in to investigate, no stranger himself to the haunts of the upper echelons of society, ably assisted by his trusty colleague, Sergeant Lampson. Yet they soon face several obstacles. With the crime committed in rooms in use by an exiled king and his retinue, there are those who fear diplomatic repercussions, and would rather the case be forgotten.

With mounting pressure from various Intelligence agencies, rival political factions and gang warfare brewing either side of the Thames, Coburg and Lampson must untangle a web of deception if they are to solve the case – and survive.

Let us know if you’ve read Murder at the Ritz! We’d love to hear you thoughts 📚🤩

Where better to start our National Crime Reading M

Where better to start our National Crime Reading Month celebrations than with our author of the month, Christina Koning!

Christina Koning is the author of our newest inter-war crime series, the Blind Detective 🕵️‍♂️🔎

In The Blind Detective, Fred Rowlands, injured war veteran, is working as a switchboard operator in the City when an over-heard telephone conversation draws him into a murder case. He is then swept into the whirl of London on the hunt for the killer of a dancer in Murder in Regent’s Park. The glitz and glamour of 1930s aviation tangles Rowlands in a complex web of suspicion, guilt and deceit in Murder at Hendon Aerodrome. Murder in Berlin sees Rowlands immersed in the German film industry and its dark secrets while a country teeters on the knife-edge of war and a man’s life also hangs in the balance in Murder in Dublin.

Rowlands will return later this year, where his sleuthing will take him to Cambridge and Barcelona.

You can get £2 off the first book in the series, The Blind Detective, when you purchase via our website! 🤩

The latest addition to Sarah Hawkswood’s Bradeco

The latest addition to Sarah Hawkswood’s Bradecote and Catchpoll series is here! 🤩

Too Good to Hang transports the reader to April, 1145. Thorgar the Ploughman is found by the bloodied body of Father Edmund, a village priest in Ripple, and is summarily hanged for being caught in the act, despite his pleas of innocence.

When his sister goes to Worcester to seek justice for Thorgar, the lord Sheriff sends Hugh Bradecote, with Serjeant Catchpoll and Underserjeant Walkelin, to discover the truth. They soon expose strong motives for placing the blame on the ploughman’s shoulders, some unpleasant secrets festering among the villagers, as well as the whisper of a treasure long lost and now rediscovered.

The shadow the noose casts is a long one, but the Sherrif’s men will need to plumb the darkness to uncover the true killer.
