The Erdington Mysteries

The ultimate lockdown project, The Custard Corpses has proved to be surprisingly popular, and I’ve now written a sequel, The Automobile Assassination, to continue my journey through 1940s era Erdington (UK). Both books are available in ebook, paperback, hardback, and audio versions.

The Automobile Assassination

Thank you to everyone who’d 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.
