Potholes and Magic Carpets

The page-turning action in Potholes and Magic Carpets takes place in rural Kent and London. This contemporary novel explores the dramatic incidents, challenges, and temptations in the lives of four couples all linked by blood or friendship. The negative, selfish, sometimes violent natures of some wreak havoc on the innocent. A tale of not so simple folk.

Potholes and Magic Carpets is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle editions (277 pages). The audiobook version, beautifully narrated by Tracey Norman, is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

“I absolutely love Ms. Mutter’s writing style. Her descriptions are captivating to me. As a lifelong fan of all things British, I enjoy her humour and the clarity with which she delivers her characters. I feel like I know them well by the time I’m well into each chapter. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talents.” “If you like complex characters and a strong story, you'll love this book.”

The Trouble With Liam

My latest book, The Trouble With Liam, is a powerful psychological thriller set in Ireland and Sheffield. It tells the life story of Liam O’Sullivan in all its twisted glory. The book begins with tales of Liam’s challenging childhood in Dublin and follows him through tragic events that change him into a misogynistic, controlling, ultimately lethal bully living in Sheffield. Liam thought he could do as he pleased … until he was taught otherwise. Prepare to be shocked in different ways throughout the book. If you’re not a fan of thrillers or reading books containing violence, sex, and swearing, please avoid The Trouble With Liam. If you enjoy lashings of dark humour, situations to make your eyes pop out, thrills of every kind all wrapped up in a gripping, dramatic storyline, please read on. I’m currently writing the next books in the series, The Trouble With Russell, and The Trouble With Trouble.

Here are some snippets from some 5-star reviews of The Trouble With Liam: “As a psychological thriller, this book ticks all the boxes.” “If you're okay with violence and scenes that make you wince then this is a great read.” “This is a dark, shocking story that will keep you thinking long after you've finished reading it.” “The only trouble with Liam, I found, was the book came to an end.” “If you enjoy being shocked, you'll like this. I know I did!” “Brilliant read. Captures you from the first chapter. Plays with your emotions.” “Read with the lights on, the doors locked, and a weapon at your side!”

Random Bullets

Random Bullets is a gripping crime thriller with a paranormal twist.

Kindle - £1.99. Free with KU.
Paperback - £5.95 or equivalent currencies on Amazon. 228 pages.
Audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes, narrated by Alexander Doddy.

After shooting and killing his nephew, a gunman runs amok in a London park. What drives Edward to commit such atrocities? Who will survive yet another of his moments of madness? Set in Jersey, Cornwall, London, Manchester, and places not of this world.

“Action-packed, thought-provoking, a real ride. I couldn't put it down,” “crime with a twist,” “An insightful look behind the many faces we wear, and how burning resentments can take you into madness and murder,” “This is a very well thought out book.” “Kinetic — really zips along at a pace. I was really drawn in.” These are just a few of the reviews Random Bullets has received. Your review would also be much appreciated.

I was interviewed by two BBC Radio 4 producers as part of their Analysis programme on Inheritance. They’d heard that Random Bullets deals with the divisive subject of disinheritance and its aftermath, something I’ve experienced.

Holiday for The Hostile

Serena, plus her unusual friend and partner in crime, Tile X, find themselves suffering a family holiday at her eccentric grandfather’s hovel in Ireland. Who will manage to escape intact from their dramatic holiday from Hell?

Holiday for the Hostile, book 2 in The Hostile series, is a gripping contemporary paranormal crime thriller with a splash of horror. It’s my favourite book of the twelve I’ve written thus far. It can be read as a stand-alone like the other three books in the collection. Book 1 in the series is called The Hostile, book 3 is The Hostile Game. Book 4, Confronting The Hostile, was published in August 2017 along with The Hostile Series Box Set. The audiobook edition of Holiday for The Hostile, narrated by Alexander Doddy, is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes along with the audiobook versions of the other three books in the series, The Hostile, The Hostile Game, and Confronting The Hostile.

Here’s a snapshot of what a few of the readers say about Holiday for The Hostile: “Compelling, strange, and wonderful”; “Ms Mutter has carved out a new niche for herself. And from where I'm standing, she's way out in front”; “With some books, you get an idea where things are going and where they're likely to end. Not this one. Every chapter was a surprise with new characters and situations and a bunch of wonderfully inventive deaths;” “It has plenty of scary bits … can't wait until the next book is out”; “The end is a total surprise. I was expecting a skeleton in the family closet, but it turns in a completely different direction, keeping you on your toes and guessing;” “Excellent. Really looking forward to more. Joy tells a good tale.”
