About the Book

Introducing the Penny Detective

As private detectives go, Morris Shannon is not up there with the likes of Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. He is considering giving up detecting and buying a high-class fish and chip van business when Karl Ashford walks into his office and changes those plans forever.
From recovering stray cats and dogs for their owners and taking pictures of dangerous cracks in pavements, he is plunged into a brutal murder investigation that has more twists and blind alleys than..............something with quite a lot of twists and blind alleys. Backed up by his alcoholic and seldom sober sidekick Shoddy, Morris chases the truth through the backwaters of Merseyside, determined to get his man.
The Penny Detective will keep you in suspense until the last page, and provide a few laughs along the way, as you begin to see just how useless at detecting Morris is.
Step into the shady and utterly grubby world of Morris and Shoddy as they take on the first proper case they have ever investigated, and see if you can guess who the killer is because that just maybe the only way that you get to find out.
This is the first book in the Penny Detective series.

What people are saying

'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more by this author.' Leeds Loiners

'A truly fantastic first book with a twist that I would never have imagined' Goodreads

'This is a particularly well-written whodunit with a lovable pair of detectives that are believable because they are so human. The story is well paced, credible and not too complicated. It is part of a series but as it's the first, sets the scene for the rest.' Yorkshire Post Book Club

'The Penny Detective is a highly imaginative read with some brilliant characters; perfect for the beach or a nice cosy fireside.' Post Online

'This is my second Morris Shannon mystery, and I'm eager to start on another. Morris is not your typical investigator and is a fascinating character. The Penny Detective books are well-written, fast-paced and never predictable.' Kindle Detective Stories Book Club

'A new detective on the block from a home grown Chester author; Set in Liverpool this book is a real page turner with a kick like a mule.' Chester Mail (free press)
