Mystery

L. C. Tyler – The Herring Seller's Apprentice is our british crime book of the month for November. His latest novel is going nowhere, a mid-life crisis is looming and he’s burdened by the literary agent he probably deserves: Elsie Thirkettle, a diminutive but determined individual who claims to enjoy neither the company of writers nor literature of any sort. But however bad things look, they can always get worse, as Ethelred discovers when his ex-wife, Geraldine, vanishes close to his Sussex home. When the disappearance becomes a murder enquiry, the police quickly decide that Geraldine Tressider has been the victim of a local serial killer.

Steve Burrows – A Siege of Bitterns is our british crime book of the month for October. Newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers to flush out suspects in the brutal murder of a renowned ecological activist.

David Ashton – Mistress of the Just Land: A Jean Brash Mystery 1 is our british crime book of the month for September.

Robert Thorogood – A Meditation on Murder is our british crime book of the month for August. Aslan Kennedy has an idyllic life: leader of a spiritual retreat for wealthy holidaymakers on one of the Caribbean's most unspoilt islands, Saint Marie. Until he's murdered, that is. The case seems open and shut: when Aslan was killed he was inside a locked room with only five other people, one of whom has already confessed to the murder.

William Sutton – Lawless and the Devil of Euston Square is our british crime book of the month for July.
