Shap detective? He’ll not be flat oot with work.

Yes read 3 of his books. Excellent reads and one started on Cockermouth golf course, which is just up from my house.

The Puppet Show was in the top ten bestsellers in Russia. I bought it for my wife's grandmother. Very good book. Denzil Meyrick is very good as well in that genre

I saw an article on him in one of the local glossies a while back but have never got round to buying them.
You have persuaded me.....have yourself some commission.

Shap detective? He’ll not be flat oot with work.

Aye its a long way from Shap to the police headquarters at Penrith.

I'm always looking out for new authors in the crime/detective genre. I've just bought three of his books on all your recommendations. They'd better be good!

Been on my list of books/authors to read for a while but never got round to. Think I will have a look at these to help pass away lockdown.

I've now read three of his books now. Reading a fourth at the moment and another one still to go.
All very good. Particularly as you can picture a lot of the actual places mentioned, although it does turn you into a bit of
a pedant i.e. Alston is a town not a village.

I'll give him try - bought Black Summer - £2.99 on Kindle.

Hi i have read all of M W Cravens books all very good . Some more of my favorites Matt Hilton another local writer and David Mark a Cambrian born his books based in Hull .

Do try anything By M J Arlidge all cracking reads his main character is a Police women who has a dark side she is into Bdsm . My firm favorite is still Simon Kernick all stand alone stories .Good reading up the Blues
