Lilibury Murders 2 is live!
The second Lilbury Murders book is out TODAY March 16 2026.
It's called To Sleep, Perchance to Kill, and thank you Billy Shakespeare, for always having a quote at hand to butcher for a name for something.
It's a long, old slog this self-publishing malarkey and much less fun than the writing itself, which is just me sitting in a room with my cat making up stories.
So, I'd be ever so grateful if you co Read more of this blog post »

"This is a compact, easy-to-read police procedural built around the dynamic between a small-town police chief and a local journalist. It moves along at a steady pace and offers a serviceable mystery, but ultimately doesn’t leave a lasting impression."

"I was not sure about this one for a little while. But then I ended up reading in large chunks. It's not perfect, but it is compelling. It's very British, fellow non-Brits, fair warning. :)
