The Silence of the Slasher brings the long-running mystery of the Vigilante Slasher to a conclusion.
Hi, I love writing mysteries and started with a paranormal series. In the last couple of years I have been writing 1920s mysteries. I love the atmosphere of the time, that has been depicted on our screens and in fiction. Of the fashion, the cars, the parties following the war which gave everyone that 'live for the day' attitude.
I set my books in Somerset close to where I live, although the towns and villages are fictional they are based on real places local to me. They have to be fictional as I change them to fit the story. I do use the real cities though, such as Bristol and Bath Spa. They are places I visit often and it's great to be able to spend time researching what the cities were like 100 years ago.
I was very eager for this book as I was late to the party and only recently finished the previous 9 books I had my own ideas as to who the vigalanty Slasher was and somewhere in the middle of the book i thought i had it solved, but how wrong i was. The clues are all there if you read between the lines. I did'nt, but this book was brilliant. These series of books are a really good read.
I enjoy Lady Ellen Investigates. I hope there will be more. I enjoy the characters and the plots are interesting and surprising . I want Ernest back,and also Alex is not all bad. I’ll wait for the next one to see.
