The Ultimate Lockdown Project
The ultimate lockdown project, The Custard Corpses has proven to be surprisingly popular, and I’ve now written a sequel, The Automobile Assassination, to continue my journey through 1940s era Erdington (in the UK). Both books are available in ebook, paperback, hardback, and audio versions (you can listen to the beginning below). The Secret Sauce is now available in ebook, paperback and hardback.
You can join my mysteries-only newsletter, and you’ll receive a copy of The Reader’s Guide to the Erdington Mysteries. (clicking will take you to Bookfunnel to provide your email address and grab your copy).
You can read the first chapter from the The Custard Corpses here and find out what inspired me to write it here. And I talk about how I recreated the historical setting here. If you’re not yet sure, you can check out a whole host of reviews for The Custard Corpses here.
Check out the post I wrote for release day for The Automobile Assassination with a few explanations as to what book 2 is all about. And, a post with a whole host of links to celebrate the book’s birthday in 2022.
You can hear me read some of the first chapter of The Secret Sauce here.

Thank you to everyone who’s taken a chance on The Erdington Mysteries. I’m a huge fan of classic period drama murder mysteries – my Friday night treat when I was a young teenager was to watch the Poirot series on ITV staring David Suchet (I’ve just aged myself there). Hopefully, I’ve captured some of that special something that makes the era so interesting. I have been amazed by the response to my characters and the crimes I devised. Thank you again.
