Suspicion abounds following a shooting in a remote Welsh town…

Having little to report on other than the upcoming flower festival and rumours of a royal visit to her small town, Mid Wales journalist Stacey Logan suddenly has her hands full when a local man and his dog are shot dead.

Seeing as her boyfriend Ben James is a detective in the local force, Stacey gets a closer view of the action than most. Despite their proximity to an army firing range, an accidental death is quickly ruled out.

But Stacey’s chances of a scoop are dashed when, following another shooting in the Llandovery area, important elements of the case are leaked to the national press.

With Stacey’s editor putting on the pressure, she decides to do a little more investigating of her own. But given the concerns about the royal visit, suspicions about a mole in the force, and with Scotland Yard now involved, she will have to tread carefully.

Will trying to find the identity of the shooter upset Stacey’s relationship with her boyfriend before the police make an arrest? Or when she believes they have the wrong man, will her sleuthing have a far more dangerous outcome?

Welsh detective Winter Meadows takes on a new murder case

There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered?

A murder with no weapon or motive. A detective on edge. A community that wants answers.

One fateful night when off duty, DI Stewart Gardener intervenes in a street brawl and his wife is shot dead.

Trying to come to terms with this, he gradually returns to normal duties policing the streets of Leeds. Finding his wife’s murderer is never far from his mind, but with no leads and a hazy recollection of events, it seems hopeless.

Soon he is presented with a shocking case. A man is found dead in a grubby apartment, having been killed in the cruellest of ways. It is not long before another man meets the same fate.

The deaths are caused by a rapid and violent disintegration of the victims’ flesh. Pathology cannot ascertain the cause.

The only connection between the victims is they both worked seasonally as Santas, dressing up as Father Christmas and entertaining kids in grottos and such like. Who would want to kill such innocuous men as these?

The detective is flummoxed. The local community is ruffled. The press is having a field day. The top brass wants answers. Can DI Gardener overcome his grief and solve the case?

Detectives Munro and West get more on their plate than they bargained for in this clever murder mystery

DI Charlie West is investigating a series of incompetent moped robberies when three fingers are found in a refuse site.

The investigation leads the team to a local restaurant, the university campus and, much to their chagrin, repeatedly to the municipal dump.

But when a man walks into a jeweller’s shop and calmly bashes in the head of the owner, they have a murder case on their hands.

Despite the discovery of a man in some discomfort due to missing the fingers on his hand, the investigation draws blanks.

It will take the wisdom of Munro, officially retired and recovering from heart bypass surgery, to see the connections between these places and events.

With plenty of red-herrings, twists and a satisfying ending, you’ll love the latest DI Munro mystery.

TURPITUDE is a standalone in a series of eleven books featuring these detectives. They are set in and around Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland. The others in the series are all available FREE with Kindle Unlimited and in paperback.
