⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Another great addition to Veronica Black’s Sister Joan series — including a surprise ending.” Shannon

“Black ably evokes the Cornish Moors and fashions an interesting twist on an oft-used device in her conclusion.” Publisher’s Weekly

“As the book begins, it seemed a gentle whodunit, as it went on, it turned into a psychological twisting tale that was quite creepy. Looking forward to reading more from Veronica Black.” Susan

Out now on Amazon. MURDER IN HAMPSTEAD by Sabina Manea


Out now, the debut murder mystery by new signing Sabina Manea. MURDER IN HAMPSTEAD, a steal at 0.99 for launch on Kindle!

A locked-room mystery about a seemingly impossible crime
When lawyer-turned-interior designer Lucia Steer accepts a lucrative job renovating Beatrice Hall, a large house owned by a professor in a north London suburb, she has no idea of the impact it will have on her career.
No, not a full page spread in Vanity Fair, but the repercussions of her employer dropping stone dead during an afternoon party.
It is clear the victim was poisoned. But how? And by whom? Occurring pretty much in a closed room, anyone there could have been responsible for the murder.
When clumsy detective David Carliss turns up to investigate, he is overwhelmed and out-gunned by the high profile people at the party. Any of whom might, apparently, want the professor dead.
Lucia’s over-inquisitive nature and legal training leads her to offer Carliss a helping hand. And her eavesdropping and foray into amateur sleuthing will be invaluable. Especially as Lucia is used to getting her way and even more driven when she doesn’t.
MURDER IN HAMPSTEAD is the debut novel by Sabina Manea. It is the first standalone mystery in a series and the second title, MURDER ON THE HEATH, will be out soon.
FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.

One morning after an illegal rave in a Welsh valley, a hill farmer finds a young woman’s body.
Reporter Stacey Logan has been investigating the party scene, and when it is established the girl died after taking drugs, she digs deeper.
This somewhat puts her on a collision course with her partner, DI Ben James, who is leading the investigation into the girl’s death.
DI James has his own problems. When a suspected drug trafficker connected to the case is found dead in his cell, all hell breaks loose.
Will the couple’s efforts align, or will dangerous criminals get off scot free.
THE CONSORTIUM is the second thrilling mystery by Nicola Clifford. You can enjoy it on its own or following the first book featuring Logan and James, NO REFUGE.
These books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.

He had evaded the law for years, but now it’s personal…
Detective Joshua Chase’s life-long quest to find the most elusive and violent robber in the United States is about to end. But not in the way he hoped.
For decades, a team of masked, violent bank robbers has eluded police and federal forces all over the US.
Unpredictable and random, the group operates across the country, terrorizing and often killing witnesses to their heists. Then it disappears, leaving misery behind but no detectable traces or recognizable signs of their identity.
When Joshua Chase, by sheer stubbornness and doggedness, finally begins to track down Lolly, the feared group leader, he decides the group must be apprehended and stopped, no matter the consequences.
In a dramatic turn of events, it will be left to his son, Gabriel, to pick up the pursuit. But others with scores to settle are after the elusive robbers.

New Release! MURDER ON THE HEATH by Sabina Manea


Out now on Kindle. The second murder mystery by debut novelist Sabina Manea. Classic whodunnit action in London with an engaging upbeat cozy feel. MURDER ON THE HEATH just 0.99 for launch!

Can ex-lawyer turned civilian investigator Lucia Steer solve an impossible murder?
The apparent cool, calm and collectedness of a relationship counsellor, or ‘coach’ as Alec Penney called himself, is dealt a severe blow when he ends up dead on his office floor.
For all his sage advice, Alec Penney apparently electrocuted himself on a dodgy coffee maker. Well, at least that’s the theory until Lucia Steer, civilian investigator with Kentish Town CID, visits the scene.
Female intuition combined with an eagle eye leads Steer to convince senior detective DCI David Carliss that a murder has taken place.
Out of the many people seen going in and out of the office just before the estimated time of death, who was responsible?
Can Steer work out the mystery before the killer covers their tracks?
MURDER ON THE HEATH is the second standalone whodunnit in a series of mysteries set in North London by Sabina Manea. Look out for the first book, MURDER IN HAMPSTEAD.
Both books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited and available in paperback.

Three cozy Irish whodunnits with a bad-tempered detective on the case
DEATH IN MAGNERSTOWN (Book 1)
A judge is found dead in his courthouse. A bigwig in a small Irish town, the pressure is on to find answers. But quite a few people wanted the hardliner out of their lives. The regional newspaper always seems to know more than the police. With the chief inspector and the publisher at loggerheads, will the culprit ever be found?
THE MYSTERY OF SUNDAYS WELL (Book 2)
After two bodies are discovered in a well, DI Robert Carroll is forced to return to the rural Irish backwater of Magnerstown, somewhere he really doesn’t want to be. He immediately rubs the locals up the wrong way, and they are reluctant to help the murder investigation. Can the case be solved before his bad temper turns the whole town against him?
MEAT IS MURDER (Book 3)
When vacuum-packed human body parts are found in a recycling plant, the crime seems to involve an Italian heiress, two binmen who cut corners, and a vegetarian butcher. Will we ever discover who was dismembered in Magnerstown, and who did the dirty deed? Maybe not, given that the leading detective doesn’t seem to have a clue or give a hoot.
