Every time I post a book review on Goodreads, it auto feeds on my twitter feed (and Facebook) that I’ve given the book 1/5 stars, even when I’ve given it 4 or 5/5 stars! This happens every time come what may. I’ve tried turning the auto feed off but that doesn’t stop it. Therefore if…

Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection – A Study in Loss.

This might sound an unusual subject for a writer of crime and mystery to blog about, but it isn’t really. Although my own series is entitled Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection, the series could so easily have been called Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection –A Study in Loss. Let’s begin with my non-comprehensive list of…

Agatha Christie: It’s a question of money.

I decided to write this blog after coming across this statement while surfing the net: Why can’t British crime fiction have the same sense of contemporary social engagement that the Scandanavians have? Why do we just produce Agatha Christie style whodunnits in this country? Of course we don’t, but that’s not the subject of this…

Authors caught posting false reviews on Amazon.

Following the recent admission by indie bestseller John Locke that he paid for five-star reviews to be posted on his Amazon author page; and the more serious scandal surrounding author R.J. Ellory, there’s been an awful lot of comments made in the blogosphere about the reliability of online reviews. Here’s my own take. I’m not…

What type of people is the Jane Hetherington Adventures in Detection, crime and mystery series, aimed at?

What type of people is the Jane Hetherington Adventures in Detection, crime and mystery series, aimed at?

Why so few murders in Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection?

  Just so you know, there won’t be all that many murders in the detecting adventures (although the occasional body may turn up from time to time, along with a few would-be murderers). Now, I enjoy a murder mystery as much as the next person, but I also enjoy a good whodunnit which doesn’t predominantly…

A selection of quotes from A Game of Cat and Mouse (Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection: 3)

“I’m here for you whatever you’ve done. But I can’t help you if you won’t tell me!” … the case sounded intriguing, particularly the words –There’s more to this than I care to put in an e-mail. “Try and remember I’m a respectable widow woman, young lady.” “Boy, girls can talk.” “… not just girls,…

A selection of quotes from Pandora’s box (Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection: 2)

  “Someone is sending me anonymous letters.” “Wars, famine, drought, disease, the depression, we’ve lived through it all.… but Failsham Council will be the death of us all.” “Young lady, this is not an emporium prone to early closing. We didn’t even close early during the war and you have no idea how difficult it…

A selection of quotes from The Night of Harrison Monk’s Death (Jane Hetherington’s Adventures in Detection: 1)

  “Is this one of the more unusual cases of safe-breaking you’ve been asked to investigate, Mrs Hetherington?” “Remember your private detective wants to be able to sleep soundly at night and in their own bed, not one supplied as her Majesty’s pleasure.” “It seems to be an open and shut case doesn’t it? But…
