Introducing the Penny DetectiveAs private detectives go, Morris Shannon is not up there with the likes of Poirot or Sherlock Holmes. He is considering giving up detecting and buying a high-class fish and chip van business when Karl Ashford walks into his office and changes those plans forever. From recovering stray cats and dogs for their owners and taking pictures of dangerous cracks in pavements, he is plunged into a brutal murder investigation that has more twists and blind alleys than..............something with quite a lot of twists and blind alleys. Backed up by his alcoholic and seldom sober sidekick Shoddy, Morris chases the truth through the backwaters of Merseyside, determined to get his man. The Penny Detective will keep you in suspense until the last page, and provide a few laughs along the way, as you begin to see just how useless at detecting Morris is. Step into the shady and utterly grubby world of Morris and Shoddy as they take on the first proper case they have ever investigated, and see if you can guess who the killer is because that just maybe the only way that you get to find out. This is the first book in the Penny Detective series.What people are saying'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more by this author.' Leeds Loiners'A truly fantastic first book with a twist that I would never have imagined' Goodreads 'This is a particularly well-written whodunit with a lovable pair of detectives that are believable because they are so human. The story is well paced, credible and not too complicated. It is part of a series but as it's the first, sets the scene for the rest.' Yorkshire Post Book Club'The Penny Detective is a highly imaginative read with some brilliant characters; perfect for the beach or a nice cosy fireside.' Post Online'This is my second Morris Shannon mystery, and I'm eager to start on another. Morris is not your typical investigator and is a fascinating character. The Penny Detective books are well-written, fast-paced and never predictable.' Kindle Detective Stories Book Club'A new detective on the block from a home grown Chester author; Set in Liverpool this book is a real page turner with a kick like a mule.' Chester Mail (free press)

A message from the authorThis is a very personal observation on life in the South of Italy, and the views expressed here shouldn't be looked at as anything more than that. Don't take what you read in this book too seriously. Everyone experiences the South in their own way. This is my story.The BookIf you have ever felt the need to leave your own country and move to Southern Italy, then this book is for you, as this is what the writer did, over 17 years ago. The A to Z of living in Southern Italy gives the reader an insight into his experiences and goes through everything from, family life, health care, dentists, small town culture and lots more. With incidents thrown in such as reporting a fire to the emergency services and getting an answer-phone message, this book has everything that you need to know about what it is like to be an Englishman coping with life in the south of Italy. After such a long time away from England, the writer now classes Italy as his home and feels native enough to complain about the country he has come to love and hate. Having had to compromise to come to terms with an unfamiliar way of life, the writer admits to many changes that he sees in himself, but the one thing that has not been compromised by life in the south is the ironic English humour, which flavours each page.What people are saying'An amazing story. What a journey and what a family ' Mevanwy'Sheer unadulterated irony and humour on every page. This book will make you laugh and cry. Essential reading before you go to Italy.' Online Post'A brilliant read from a writer who knows a thing or two about the South of Italy. Recommended reading even if you have no intention to visit.' Chester Mail'Not a travel guide, but more like a dissection of the Southern Mentality. Recommended reading especially if you are considering moving here.' Daily Post (free North Wales Press)'If you ever decide to go to Italy, alone or with your family, PLEASE read this book.' David Johnson'This is a great read, but it is not for somebody that wants a tourist guide of the South.' Bookbaby'Delightful and light-hearted, with some great insights into the southern mentality. If you want to know about the Calabria, jus read this book. Brilliant ' Goodreads'As the author states, this is a very personal view of life in the South of Italy. He apparently hated the place to start but has grown to love it. This book is like a journey of discovery as we are led by the hand through the conundrum of Italian customs and attitudes. Fabulous stuff.' Ghost in the Machine'Hilarious and at times tragic insight into Italian life in Calabria. Scarborough Evening News
