Sometimes, an ordinary person solves
an extraordinary crime.
As a former environmental health officer with forty years of experience, I look beneath the picturesque surfaces of country life and find the dark secrets lurking underneath.
I'm driven by a desire to see ordinary people make a difference, shaping distinctive sleuths and complex characters, who stand up against unfairness.
If you enjoy the works of Elly Griffiths or classic Agatha Christie, you'll feel right at home in my worlds.
Whether you explore my Downland Murder Mysteries or The Mother He Never Knew, you’ll find complex human problems, twists, and the hidden lives I love to explore.
"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.
“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.”
