A Bit of a Mix Up

 

A busy working couple witness a shooting at a Caribbean Hotel. All is not what it seems. They get tangled in a web of court cases which disrupts their life and brings others closer.

Less of a Mix Up Maybe 

Another unique, long-awaited novel by the acclaimed author. A real P & R book, park yourself down and take the ride.

The villagers of Batonham provide the scene. Join in with their chats in the pub and feel better for letting rip and getting ideas off your chest, but beware of death and reincarnation in unexpected places.

That's It! Sorted

Six imaginary biographies each one introduced in the first six paragraphs of the first chapter. Subsequent chapters  are linked to each but in a random order. The reader is encouraged to fit the chapters to the biographies as the novel progresses.

 

 

The Chronicles of
Herbert Henry Agnew
1897 - 1926

These diaries are a valuable piece of social history written in a highly understated way. As a multi-prizewinning rider with the Vegetarian Cycling Club, this is a man who went so fast on a tandem that  his wife fell off due to the accelleration and  he didn't notice until he got home six miles later.
