Classic murder mysteries. A new kind of sleuth.
"It’s like a breath of fresh air to discover a lead character who is neither a disillusioned police officer or a downbeat private eye. Kent is a modern creation for a new breed of thrillers!" Susan Corcoran.
The Downland Murder Mysteries follow environmental health officer Kent Fisher, drawn into deaths that can’t be easily explained, and questions no one else is asking.
He's not a detective, and he doesn’t rely on forensic laboratories or procedure.
Using observation, experience, and an understanding of human nature, Kent notices what others may overlook.
Grounded in everyday life, these modern mysteries are inspired by the traditions of classic crime fiction.
But the real mystery isn’t the murder. It’s why it happened, and how the community lives with the consequences.
“I am an avid fan of Agatha Christie and I have absolutely no qualms in saying, these stories really do have a close relation
to the original series.” Lacy Claire.
If you're new to the Downland Murder Mystery series, the first novel, No Accident, is the best place to start.
When No Accident was published in 2016, Crime Fiction Lover said, “Expect sharp dialogue and irreverent humour in this whodunnit, which manages to pay homage to the traditional murder mystery, while striking a contemporary and irreverent note.”
