edit data

I have always loved murder mysteries set in country houses during the Golden Age of Crime era where the murders were not too graphic and the main aim was to try and work out the murderer by identifying a handful of carefully hidden clues and of course dodging the red herrings.
Therefore it is my intention in the Rose Simpson Mysteries to give sufficient clues whereby an eagle-eyed reader may be able to work out who the murderer is, but for it not to be too easy. I also want my books to be an enjoyable read for those readers, like my husband, who just enjoy reading murder mysteries.
