Summary
'The perfect thriller - transporting you to a point in time through exquisite period details, peculiarly beguiling characters and immediate page turning events. The sort of book you dream of writing!' TOM ALLEN
______________
1973. Hours after a mysterious phone call is made to the police, a train pulls into Sunderland station with a dead body on board.
Cause of death: strangulation. Victim: unknown. Witnesses: none.
Undeterred by this baffling set of circumstances, newly promoted Police Sergeant Aline James vows to crack the case and prove her critics wrong. But when her famously ruthless investigation tactics yield no results, she is forced to seek help from two unlikely allies: unassuming assassin John Brown and calamitous actor Tony Davies.
As bodies pile up, can this unusual trio thwart a devilishly complex plot, before one of them, actually, becomes a corpse?

The perfect thriller - transporting you to a point in time through exquisite period details, peculiarly beguiling characters and immediate page turning events. The sort of book you dream of writing! (Tom Allen)
Praise for the Actually Murders series:
A pitch perfect mix of sinister and hilarious. Great fun
This smart, funny and deftly executed page turner is sure to please
Extraordinarily fun and oh-so-gripping
A dark, witty story that had me racing for the end, yet reluctant to finish! Vivid, clever, cheeky and compelling (Janice Hallett, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE APPEAL)
The most fun I've had reading a book in a long time. Pitch-perfect in tone, funny, and so very very clever. I'd be surprised if I read anything better this year. Highly recommended (M. W. Craven, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE MERCY CHAIR)
A wonderful story told with increasing pace. A cross between Hitchcock and The Beiderbecke Affair (Ian Moore, author of DEATH AND CROISSANTS)
