A GHOST HUNTER'S GUIDE TO CATCHING A KILLER

August 1915: Alma Timperley is fully settled in the bustling coastal town of Falmouth with her fiancé Alan. In her new role as owner of the extraordinary Timperley Spiritualist Hotel, Alma offers residents the chance to contact the dead - and since the start of the war, the hotel has never been busier.

But when a guest is found dead in their bed, talking to ghosts is suddenly the least of Alma's worries. The police are quick to suspect foul play, which can only mean one thing: there is a killer lurking in the hotel's shadows.

Time is of the essence, so Alma is recruited by the police to help with their investigation. Can she crack the case, before she finds herself in grave danger?

Now out in all formats and available online and in bookshops.

About

Hi folks, thanks for visiting. I live in Somerset, England, and the climb up Glastonbury Tor is a local walk. What a lucky lad!

My working life was mainly spent in creative agencies writing for corporate clients and the London theatre.

I’d had various ideas for books over the years, then Covid happened and on day one of the lockdown in 2020 I typed the words ‘The Ghosts of Passchendaele’ at the top of a blank page.

I was lucky enough to have my work noticed by Kate Hodern, a wonderful literary agent and subsequently signed with Hodder and Stoughton to produce three new books featuring Alma Timperley – a young woman with an astonishing secret.
