Introducing the Penny Detective 12
Morris Shannon and his partner Shoddy get involved in some brutal knife murders in this, the 12th Penny Detective Mystery in the series. The action comes thick and fast on the streets of Liverpool in the 1980s. This is a must read for lovers of noir and British detective mysteries.
Morris is once again trying to sort of the lies and deceit from the truth in a classic British Detective novel that is tense, dark, often funny but never dull.
An explosive cocktail that will keep you guessing until the final page. Warning: This book will not be a life changing experience
Fans of intellectual literature should look away now, or try something more classical. All Penny Detective books contain no messages, big words, or complicated plots, but they will, hopefully, while away a couple of hours and entertain. If you are still not convinced; the terrific thing about Amazon is that you can read the first couple of chapters for free. Believe me; these books don't get any better or worse after that.
John Tallon Jones is to literary intellectuals what John Milton (Paradise Lost) and Leo Tolstoy were, to having a 'good laugh.' This is disposable fiction at the sharp end, nothing more. What are people saying about the Penny Detective?Liverpool Echo
'Take Hercule Poirot, Philip Marlowe, and Inspector Clouseau rolled into one, and you have the Penny Detective. This is a highly imaginative five-star read.'Post Online
'The author has made the main character, Morris Shannon, vulnerable and sarcastic and I can relate to this, as will most readers. The creation of an alcoholic but brilliant sidekick is inspirational, and this alone makes it different to anything else you will read.'
