Books you won't want to put down

These books were always bound to happen. During my thirty-plus years teaching English to teenagers, I have always secretly nursed a morbid fascination with murderers and serial killers, as well as an interest in the lengths that some people will go to in committing acts of unspeakable evil. Because of this, and an obsession with murderous films, such as Hitchcock's 'Psycho' and 'Dial M For Murder', I decided to write novels that will hold the reader's interest, with a strong shock factor and plenty of 'Oh My God' moments. 

A powerful climax is something I also see as important and enjoyable in the stories I write. 'Beneath the Blood Moon' shows what happens when vulnerable people go head-to-head with the unscrupulous and malevolent. 'The Lies and Crimes of Sweet Caroline' shows how childhood can create evil in a person and depicts what results when two immoral women become ambitious and ruthlessly go in search of wealth.

I hope all you readers out there enjoy my books. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Gripping read. I really enjoyed this book. I was hooked right from the start. It was full of twists and turns."
Amazon customer
"Once you pick this book up you really don't want to put it down. Its an amazing read."
Heather Bagshaw
"Really enjoyed this couldn’t put it down. A good ending."
Amazon customer
"Although, for the rational minded, ultimately the central theme of the plot may be a bit too far fetched, the book nevertheless provides more than enough thrills and in the end gruesome moments.
It also has that spinetingling last page that will keep the reader guessing.

Overall, not a bad way to spend a few hours in the company of some rather disagreeable individuals."
George
"I got this book for a present because I like crime books and I love it as I know the places mentioned in it which makes it more real to read."
Suzanne Oxley
"This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believeable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading."
Bwichkan
"5*. It portrays the life of a young couple initially trying to overcome the husband's indiscretion and succeed only to be thwarted by the actions of a sadistic psychopath.

His desperation for their life to resume leads him to deny the changes in her. Until trying to rekindle and resume their life together becomes a nightmare.
The character's feel real and draw the reader into the story. The language and style enable you to relate to the emotional trauma experienced and empathise.
As the wife's actions become more sinister, he begins to challenge them, will this be a predictable ending to a great story or not, read it and find out.

Lucinda
"I took a chance on this book, and I’m SO glad I did. It was a really interesting ride with likeable characters and a gripping plot! I found that I didn't want to put it down
I would definitely recommend it :)."
Pickles Family
"I did enjoy this book however it was obvious from the start which way the book was going to go. This does not detract from the story in itself but I kept wishing that the author has not made it so clear from the start, as if this was not the case the book would have been worth far more stars. All I all a good book."
