Book 4, The Darkening Hills, is now available for pre-order from Amazon! No audio book version just yet, but hopefully it will follow soon.

This crime thriller started life as a cosy crime novel, but I’d barely begun before I found it becoming darker and darker. Eventually, I threw up my hands and let it go in the direction it clearly wanted. This time, it’s Aaron who has to step up after his promotion to sergeant, but Asha is there as always, helping him deal with a threat to a close family member.

Did you know that the first three books of the Harvey and Birch crime series are now available in audiobook format? Thanks to Lorella Belli Agency and Tantor Audio, you can now listen to the wonderfully talented Esther Wane narrating the books. I’m absolutely delighted with her interpretation and performance.
