About this author

I am a journalist and non-fiction author who was born in England in 1974. My books are published in the UK, Japan and the USA.

"'Mop Men' is half true crime, half memoir. It's either the most emotionally involved crime book I've ever read, or the goriest memoir" Bucky Sinister - New York Post

"For a totally gonzo way of looking at the crime scene cleaning business, try this engrossing, wisecracking assessment of a world we know exists but ignore as we go about our lives," Publishers Weekly

"Alan Emmins has done something masterful here. 'Mop Men' takes you places that you never thought you'd go, introducing you to characters who typically live in the shadows. Compulsory reading for the crime-obsessed, equal parts disturbing and fascinating," B

Heather Thanks for the friend request. Hope you are doing well. I much enjoyed mop men. Hoping there is some more great work in the future.

Alan Emmins Haha, I am not sure there will be a Mop Men 2 :-( It's funny because I can't help but follow Charlie Sheen's antics and it occurred to me last night just how much like Neal he is. But never say never, as they say. I am not against getting my hands dirty :-)

Glad you enjoyed the book. Thanks for listing it.


SenoraG Thanks for adding me. I LOVED Mop Men. Will there be a Mop Men 2? :)


message 4: by Marge

Marge Thank you for adding me. I hope to travel to Minneapolis/St. Paul this summer to not only see friends and in-laws, but attend the Gangster Festival in St. Paul! Many gangsters used to "hang out" during the 1930's in a suburb I lived in for 17 years called White Bear Lake. There is also a great true crime book I read entitled "A Death in White Bear Lake" you might find fascinating. The crime came out in the papers right after I moved there in 1984.

Lauren Hi. I plan on checking Mop Men out of my local library sometime soon.

:)


♥ Marlene♥ Hi thanks for the invite. I see you wrote a book. Weirdly enough i know I have talked about this book with people on another site? It looks interesting. when you think of people having to do that kind of work, how terrible although I think the same of people who kill animals for a job. How can they. :)


Bradley I hope you are having a good day! =)
