This summer I read 'London Rules' by the brilliant Mick Herron, 'The Temptation of Forgiveness' by Donna Leon, 'A Legacy of Spies' by John le Carre. [complete with acute accent. sic) and 'Shame' an inspiring autobiographical story of forced marriage and triumph over adversity. I would have read many more but I was also busy completing 'The Girl and the Shadowman.' The latest in the DCI Caton Manchester Murder Mysteries.

Hi Kerry. The Blow Out was the last in the current series, but the good news is that Is Stuart's mentor DCI Tom Caton is back! Caton's 11th thrilling case is due to be published later this month. 9 October 2019) I gave in to the pressure from his many fans, and brought him back. I'm sure/hope you'll enjoy it as much as the NCA series.

The Tangled Lock features a serial killer with a unique and unusual signature. In the research for my previous 12 novels I learned a great deal about the criminal mind, and in particular about motivations, triggers, and consequences. Things that really interest me. I wanted to produce a novel that shared many of the elements of true crime, and was authentic in every respect, but which introduced a twist that I don't believe that I've come across before. Specifically, the transfer of trophy trace evidence from one victim to the next. I also wanted to treat the victims not just as a prop or backdrop to the story, but as human beings with stories of their own, and with whom we can empathises despite the road they have chosen to travel down.

The satisfaction of creating something that has form and function, engages the brain, involves discovery about the subject matter, and oneself, and represents a challenge to be overcome. The icing on the cake is hearing from readers that they have enjoyed the end result.

This is something that I have never really experienced. I have the upmost sympathy for those who do. I would find it extremely upsetting if I did.
