That’s the question Joe asks himself while the Sanford 3rd Age Club are whooping it at Gittings Holiday Park in sunny yet chilly Cornwall.
Sheila is absent, and Joe and Brenda are sharing a caravan (but that’s all they’re sharing). The general manager is attracted to him, the park comedian is not funny – and the star sensation is a young singer who can’t sing.
And to add to Joe’s woes, when a body turns up on the beach, he finds the local police inspector abrasive and suspicious.
Major thefts of electronic equipment, a complicated murder with a range of suspects and a Joe almost at the end of his tether as he tries to crack… A Cornish Killing.
A retired hypnotherapist and adult education teacher with a one-megaton sense of humour, David Robinson is a Yorkshireman from the outskirts of Manchester, northwest England, where he lives with his wife and a crazy Jack Russell Terrier named Joe (because he looks like a Joe).
He writes in several genres under different pseudonyms, but his mainstay is crime and mystery. He published several novels with different publishers until, in 2011, he turned to self-publishing on the Kindle, putting out 15 titles. In January 2012 Crooked Cat Publishing picked up the first of his popular Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries, The Filey Connection. More titles in the series are due in the near future.
He also produces darker, edgier thrillers, such as The Handshaker and Voices; titles which are aimed exclusively at an adult audience and which question the perceptions of reality.
In a more light-hearted mood again, he turns out the occasional sci-fi or paranormal adventure and he has also published some non-fiction.
As at March, 2012, he is working on more of the Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries and a sequel to The Handshaker.
I absolutely love these books. There's nowt like Yorkshire folk for plain speaking. Joe certainly works hard to solve mysteries whilst running his cafe and being in the Stac. I hope there will be more books.
