A Deadly Twixmas
Christmas is over, New Year hasn’t happened.It’s Twixmas and the Sanford 3rd Age Club are on their way to Blackpool for a few days of fun and frolics. But there are dark shadows lingering in the background.
Who is Emlyn Steele? Why does he claim to be Colin Jump’s brother when Brenda is certain her late husband never had a brother? How come Colin’s sister, Dorothy knows so much about Steele, and why does Dorothy volunteer so quickly to come to Blackpool? How far does retired Chief Superintendent Oughton’s knowledge extend?
A dark and bitterly cold December, a large and busy hotel, long-buried secrets coming out into the open, a detective inspector who doesn’t like Joe, and a flurry of murders.
It all spells out A DEADLY TWIXMAS.

About the author
David W. Robinson
71 books51 followersA 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.

An excellent cozy mystery
I really enjoyed reading this book. These books are great, I love reading about Joe, Brenda and Sheila's exploits with the Sanford Third Age Club. Once I start reading I can't stop until I've finished the book. The characters seem so real and you get drawn into the story. I would have given more stars if I could. I hope there will be more books.

Can't really go wrong for me... The Sanford Third Agers going to Blackpool! Nothing different to the usual STAC fare, but why fix something that's not broken?

l always enjoy these characters and this book was no exception. It held few surprises however as the culprit was obvious - the twist at the end perhaps less so. That is not really the point of these cosy stories however, it is the familiarity with all the club members and the fact that the reader can recognise so many people they know reflected in them that makes these books a joy. To be read at one sitting!
