About the Author

Who doesn’t love a good murder?

A lifelong lover of the great authors and sleuths of detective fiction’s Golden Age — think Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, John Dickson Carr, and Ellery Queen, Liam has a passion for secluded county estates, shady heirs, locked rooms, and impossible murders.

He has poured this love into his books: mysteries featuring professional researcher and Scottish historian Elle Cunningham Mackay and an upcoming series of thrillers starring curiosity store owner Emery Vaughn.

If you love mysteries — cozies, whodunnits, police procedurals, pastiches, and more — drop him a line. Looking for a new author to love or maybe even a free book or two? Visit Liam’s blog and subscribe to his newsletter for a first look.
