My Debut Novel - now available to buy

Your Sin

The bady of a partially unclothed woman is found in a yard behind a pub in the town of Dunmalcolm in Fife.

Inspector Shona Patterson investigates and discovers that that the victim was part of a group of blackmailers targeting men who would prefer to keep their sexual indiscretions secret.

One of the men targeted initially is Brian Lockwood, retired ex-colleague of Shona for whom she still carries a torch. Reluctantly at first, she is persuaded to renew their old partnership in their search for the killer.

Two more murders are committed and Shona and Brian find themselves in a race against time to find the killer before he or she strikes again – a race that puts both their lives at risk.

Your Sin: New author on the Scottish Noir scene - well worth reading. I really enjoyed this new piece of Scottish noir. I read at bedtime but usually only manage a few pages before falling asleep - this one had me staying up way too late because I wanted to know what happened next. The characters were well developed and the pace of the story perfect. Managed to keep intrigue right to the very end.Some humour, some heartbreak, some romance and a lot of grittiness.Hope there’s a new book out soon from this author.

Your Sin: Detective story with a great twist This book is what you call a page turner, and one that I simply couldn't put down. Great characters and a great twist at the end. If you enjoy a good Detective novel, you'll enjoy this book.
