A series of mysteries with snooty,
successful novelist Raymond Baldock and his on-off lady love Lisa Yeoman. Often
outrageously funny, ribald, not so cosy, but not full blooded hard boiled, if
you enjoy a good laugh and a complex msytery, then check the Midthorpe Murder
Mysteries.
A Case of Missing on Midthorpe
When successful crime and thriller
writer, Raymond Baldock returns to Midthorpe, the scum council estate where he
was born and brought up, he is hell bent on wielding his wealth and influence
over everyone for the few days that he is there.
But he has reckoned without romance
in the shape of the lovely Lisa. Then there is the mystery of the wheels stolen
from his car. And after his demure, divorced mother poisons her boyfriend and
is arrested on a charge of attempted murder, Raymond must turn detective to
unravel the mystery... and get his wheels back.
Missing persons, costly thefts, fake
pills, a dead body, a middle-aged mother determined to embarrass her son and
flaunt her new-found zest for life and love, spell out a recipe for comic
mayhem in this, the first Midthorpe Mystery.
A Case of Bloodshed in Benidorm
Raymond Baldock hates Benidorm.
So why is he there? Because he has
been pressured into going, and when he gets there, it lives down to his worst
expectations.
His laptop is stolen, his mother is
there, attending a hen weekend, and he finds her in a compromising situation.
He is humiliated in a bar, then blackmailed, and as if that is not enough, he
has to face the determined wrath of Lisa Yeoman, the woman he stormed away from
in the spring. And this is all before
the bodies begin to turn up, and they leave him as one of the prime suspects in
the death of those…
Bumped Off in Benidorm.
Another dose of comic mayhem and
mystery from Midthorpe.
