What to expect
**NINE LIVES PAPERBACK IS AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW**
From a master of suspense...
Eight classic murders.
A single crime obsessive.
Countless thrilling twists.
A series of unsolved murders with one thing in common: each of the deaths bears an eerie
resemblance
to the crimes depicted in classic mystery novels.
The deaths lead FBI Agent Gwen Mulvey to mystery bookshop Old Devils. Owner Malcolm Kershaw had once posted online an article titled 'My Eight Favourite Murders,' and there seems to be a deadly link between the deaths and his list - which includes Agatha Christie's
The ABC Murders, Patricia Highsmith's
Strangers on a Train and Donna Tartt's
The Secret History.
Can the killer be stopped before all eight of these perfect murders have been re-enacted?

Brilliant narrator. Clear and easy on the ears.
The story, I'd never have worked out who dunnit! Very clever story, all the references to crime stories woven in to the story.Rocketman 2025-09-17 -

Thoroughly enjoyed this twisty novel. I loved all the allusions to classic crime novels both highly familiar and yet to be discovered. Full of fun and atmosphere. Impeccably narrated too.
