Matt Devlin Mysteries
At her husband’s funeral, Angela Menton discovers that her husband had been a bigamist – twice over as it later transpires. Friction between the three wives comes to a head when one is found dead.
Detective Inspector Matt Devlin, with his partner Rick Preston, must conduct a complicated and demanding investigation, especially when their chief suspect is killed.
Matt has the added distraction of a new girlfriend, Esme, who does not wish to be involved with a policeman.
Matt’s trademark perseverance and determination is put to work in trying to persuade Esme they would be good together, as well as matching the amassed evidence using his acute observational powers to expose the murderer.
Two men from the same company are killed at the same time, in the same manner, but at opposite ends of the town. Detective Inspector Matt Devlin leads the investigation with the assistance of Detective Sergeant Fiona Marshall as his usual partner, Rick Preston, is ill.
Matt’s relationship with his girlfriend, Esme Harvey, has progressed gently until, to their dismay, she comes under suspicion of direct involvement in the case, with evidence mounting against her. Matt is determined to remain on the case despite, or perhaps more truthfully because of, his connection with Esme. Meanwhile DS Marshall has her own private demons to deal with which have entered the case.
Matt will need to use all his powers of detection to solve the mystery, as well as exercise his patience to try to repair his relationship with Esme since he knows how important she is to him.
BLUE MOON is a small retirement home where residents enjoy their twilight years. There is a harmonious atmosphere until a vacancy is filled by Rose Johns, who quickly reveals a malevolent character. Unrest and irritation among residents and staff soon arise, with even a suggestion of blackmail.
When a resident dies in suspicious circumstances, Detective Inspector Matt Devlin and his partner Detective Sergeant Rick Preston are called in to investigate. Their work is made considerably more difficult by having to allow for the foibles of several residents. To complicate matters further, Esme Harvey, Devlin’s girlfriend, a freelance bookkeeper, spends two or three days a week at the home, so she knows both the residents and staff.
With a surfeit of suspects, Devlin and Preston face a formidable task. Can they catch the killer before they strike again? And will the interests of the residents help or hinder them in their mission?
Adventure
It was meant to be a romantic holiday and Anita is waiting to board a plane to Spain with Luke, her relatively new boyfriend, when he starts acting strangely and uncharacteristically. She is bewildered and concerned, then irritated with his actions but when he starts issuing orders, it is the last straw and she defiantly boards the plane without him. By the following day, as a result of her impetuosity, she is in Spain, alone, and in the hands of a dubious group controlled by the sinister Señor Bolaño. They want information she has not got and it is only through the protection of Manuel, one of her abductors whom she intuitively trusts virtually from their first meeting, that she has not succumbed to outright terror and panic.
Manuel, an undercover Spanish policeman, had spent two years fast-tracking his way to become a trusted confident of Señor Bolaño, only to have his careful plans derailed by the English Señorita’s impulsive nature and his immediate attraction to her. The pursuit of a state-of-the-art device, the erstwhile Luke’s involvement and further abductions and escapes across Spain and Portugal set the pace for their whirlwind romantic adventure. Will they both survive to start a lifetime of love?
