Three British Mystery Novels 

Three authors, three great mysteries:

• A Taste for Blood by David Stuart Davies: Two laser-sharp detectives, two thought-provoking cases, and two plots running parallel...you won’t see what’s coming! Featuring private investigator Johnny (One Eye) Hawke and his one-time colleague in the police force Detective David Llewellyn. Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide. Llewellyn is investigating the chilling crimes of a top psychiatrist and his scheming patient. 
• Lynnwood by Thomas Brown:  Finalist for the People’s Book Prize. Who wouldn’t want to live in an idyllic village in the English countryside like Lynnwood? With its charming pub, old dairy, friendly vicar, gurgling brooks, and old paths with memories of simpler times. But the unthinkable is happening in Lynnwood ‒ a village with centuries of guilt on its conscience.
• Ellipsis by Nikki Dudley: ”Right on time,” Daniel Mansen mouths to Alice as she pushes him to his death. Haunted by these words, Alice becomes obsessed with discovering how a man she didn’t know could predict her actions. Ellipsis is a thriller stemming from what is left unsaid, what bounces around in the mind, and what evaporates when trying to remember. Can there be a conclusion when no one seems to know the truth?

A Taste for Blood by David Stuart Davies 

Detective mystery set in London

Featuring private investigator Johnny (One Eye) Hawke and his one-time colleague in the police force Detective David Llewellyn. Llewellyn is investigating the chilling crimes of a top psychiatrist and his scheming patient who the doctor believes has knuckled under his authority. In the meantime, Hawke is on the case of a mysterious suicide in Edgware Road...soon discovered as not your average suicide. The guts and insight of the two investigators bring both cases to a head, though you won't even begin to see how until you have turned the last pages. Book 6 in the Detective Johnny (One Eye) Hawke series (can be read as a standalone novel).

Praise for A Taste for Blood
"A delightful read." ~J. Robert Ewbank, author

"Interesting mystery that takes place in the 1930s in England...a good story with an unpredictable ending." ~Donna Miller, Librarian, USA

"An intriguing double set of mysteries...a nerve-wracking conclusion that will have you on edge until it’s resolved." ~Rebecca Chandler, Reviewer, UK

Lynnwood by Thomas Brown 

Mysterious crime set in an English forest village

The unthinkable is happening in Lynnwood – a village with centuries of guilt on its conscience. On the surface, Lynnwood appears to be an idyllic village in the English countryside. But behind the conventional appearance of Lynnwood’s villagers, only two sorts of people crawl out of the woodwork: those who hunt and those who are prey. Visitors are watched by an entity between the trees where the Dark Ages have endured to the twenty-first century. Families who have lived behind stone walls and twitching curtains know that the gusts of wind blowing through the nearby alluring Forest bring with them a stench of delightful hunger only Lynnwood can appease.

"A dark horror story set in a picturesque village. I would recommend this to fans of classic English horror as well as fans of Stephen King." ~Lucy O'Connor, Waterstones

"An exciting, on the edge of your seat gothic that will have readers begging for more." ~Rosemary Smith, Cayocosta Book Reviews

Ellipsis by Nikki Dudley 

Psychological crime suspense/noir thriller set in London

"Right on time," Daniel Mansen mouths to Alice as she pushes him to his death. Haunted by these words, Alice becomes obsessed with discovering how a man she didn’t know could predict her actions. 

On the day of Daniels' funeral, Daniel's cousin, Thom, finds a piece of paper in Daniel's room detailing the exact time and place of his death. As Thom and Alice both search for answers, they become knotted together in a story of obsession, hidden truths, and the gaps in everyday life that can destroy or save a person.

"A very stylish, compelling read." ~Kevin Mahoney, Authortrek.com

"Exciting, psychologically complex, and disconcerting, it is a powerful tale of two misfits trying to uncover long hidden secrets about themselves and their pasts." ~Sam Ruddock, Writers’ Centre, Norwich
