The Controller

“The Controller is the start of a wonderful series!” Amazon review

It takes courage to change sides.

They’re making big money. When a group kidnapping dogs for ransom hits South London, local detective Amanda Lacey investigates after an acquaintance alerts her she isn’t the only victim of the upsetting crime.

But what starts out as a way to make quick money for the gang, quickly turns sinister when a local hard-man gets involved. And Pete didn’t sign up for what happens next. With a past record, can he put his personal fears aside and involve the police before it’s too late?

This is the first installment of the British detective series featuring DS Amanda Lacey and DC Jack Rutherford. Meet two characters you can’t help but enjoy as they solve crimes involving ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

(Note from the author: fear not the subject matter, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this story)

Reviews so far:

"I was on edge the entire time. Great read! I didn't want it to end at all wishing there was at least 1 more chapter."

"Well written thriller with protagonists I could immediately like. Well written, quick read. I loved the book, in spite of subject matter. I have dogs, and wow I could imagine! Recommended."

Hot to Kill

“Dark black humour, crime, murders, suspense. This book is a smorgasbord of a read.” Amazon review

Just how many deadly pranks can one woman get away with?

Approaching 50, Madeline Simpson is totally hacked off and the English summer heatwave isn’t helping with her hot flushes. While it was never her intention to kill, the body count increases as she doles out retribution to those that rub her up the wrong way.

Alerted by similarities in local deaths, someone close to home is hot on her tail to put an end to the carnage.

Often humorous and regularly deadly, read Hot to Kill to find out how one woman discovers the identity of a local sex offender while wreaking havoc on a carefully crafted mission.

A quirky and humourous story of life, revenge, dead bodies and a good few bottles of Bombay Sapphire Gin.

The Hunted

“The perspective from the side of the murderer is what will keep you from putting this down!” Amazon review

They kill wild animals for sport. She’s about to return the favour…

A spate of distressing big-game hunter posts are clogging up her newsfeed. As hunters brag about the exotic animals they’ve murdered and the followers they’ve gained along the way, a passionate veterinarian can no longer sit back and do nothing.

To stop the killings, she creates her own endangered list of hunters. By stalking their profiles and infiltrating their inner circles, she vows to take them out one-by-one.

There’s no telling how far she will go to add the guilty to her own trophy collection.
