Two
Feet Under
began life as a conversation in a car, when my eldest daughter and I got stuck
in a traffic jam on the way to an author/reader event. It gained a criminal
mastermind as a result of another conversation in the car with her younger
sister. It got its background thanks to the popular television series “Time
Team” and a setting care of the northern part of Hampshire. The plot came from
the author’s twisted imagination, via a lot of checking. And at least one
character is based on people I know. You have been warned.
About
Two Feet Under
Things are looking up for Adam
Matthews and Robin Bright—their relationship is blossoming, and they’ve both
been promoted. But Robin’s a policeman, and that means murder is never far from
the scene.
When a body turns up in a shallow
grave at a Roman villa dig site—a body that repeatedly defies
identification—Robin finds himself caught up in a world of petty rivalries and
deadly threats. The case seems to want to drag Adam in, as well, and their home
life takes a turn for the worse when an ex-colleague gets thrown out of his
house and ends up outstaying his welcome at theirs.
While Robin has to prove his case
against a manipulative and fiendishly clever killer, Adam is trying to find out
which police officer is leaking information to the media. And both of them have
to work out how to get their home to themselves again, which might need a
higher intelligence than either a chief inspector or a deputy headteacher.
About
the Lindenshaw Mysteries
Adam Matthews's life changed when
Inspector Robin Bright walked into his classroom to investigate a murder.
Now it seems like all the
television series are right: the leafy villages of England do indeed conceal a
hotbed of crime, murder, and intrigue. Lindenshaw is proving the point.
Detective work might be Robin's
job, but Adam somehow keeps getting involved—even though being a teacher is
hardly the best training for solving crimes. Then again, Campbell, Adam's
irrepressible Newfoundland dog, seems to have a nose for figuring things out,
so how hard can it be?
