Who doesn’t love a good murder?

I’ll be the first to admit it: the living are fine, but the dead are far more interesting. 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, I have a positive passion for secluded county estates, shady heirs, locked rooms and impossible murders.

I have poured this love into my books: mysteries featuring professional researcher and Scottish historian Elle Cunningham Mackay, thrillers starring curiosity store owner Emery Vaughn and a pair of Golden Age series featuring former spy Mafalda Marchand and village vicar James Valentine.

If you love mysteries, too—cozies, whodunnits, police procedurals, pastiches, you name it—then let’s get acquainted. Want to chat up a murder? Drop me a line. Looking for a new author to love or maybe even a free book or two? Check out my blog and subscribe to my newsletter for first dibs!
