A classic murder mystery, a different kind of sleuth
"It’s like a breath of fresh air to discover a lead character who is neither a disillusioned police officer or a downbeat private eye. Kent is a modern creation for a new breed of thrillers!" Susan Corcoran.
I’ve always loved the idea of an ordinary person solving a murder.
Someone you can relate to.
Someone who relies on knowledge, experience, and intuition to track down a killer, bringing them to justice without forensics, DNA, CCTV, or a crime scene team.
An ordinary person like you and me in a murder mystery driven by characters, not procedures.
Come and join environmental health officer Kent Fisher in real world cosy mysteries that don't sugar coat the human darkness underneath.
“I am an avid fan of Agatha Christie and I have absolutely no qualms in saying, these stories really do have a close relation
to the original series.” Lacy Claire.
If you're new to the Downland Murder Mystery series, the first novel, No Accident, is the best place to start.
When No Accident was published in 2016, Crime Fiction Lover said, “Expect sharp dialogue and irreverent humour in this whodunnit, which manages to pay homage to the traditional murder mystery, while striking a contemporary and irreverent note.”

Set against the beauty of the South Downs, the Downland Murder Mystery Series follows Kent Fisher — an environmental health officer with a nose for murder and a stubborn sense of justice.
When crime disrupts the quiet of the English countryside, Kent tackles it with sharp wit, moral conviction, and a determination to uncover the truth.
Blending the charm of classic whodunits with a contemporary voice, the Downland Murder Mysteries explore not just who committed the crime, but why, revealing the frailties, humour, and humanity behind every wrongdoing.
