(2025)(A book in the Mad Max series)
An omnibus of novels by M J Trow
8 GRIPPING ENGLISH COZY CRIME MYSTERIES. 2,000 PAGES PACKED FULL OF TWISTS. 1 AMATEUR SLEUTH WITH A KNACK FOR MARKING HOMEWORK . . . AND SOLVING MURDERS!
‘Cleverly conceived and amusingly executed.’ Sunday Times
If you love Faith Martin, Richard Osman, The Reverend Richard Coles, Fiona Leitch, Janice Hallett, or M.C. Beaton’s quirky Agatha Raisin, prepare to be hooked by these humorous, character-driven, gripping mysteries!
Meet Peter Maxwell: film buff, golden-hearted cynic, bow-tied eccentric teacher . . . and reluctant amateur sleuth.
Peter Maxwell is an unconventional History teacher at Leighford High School. With his biting wit and habit of quoting classic film lines in the classroom, he is far from a typical sleuth. But staffroom gossip provides Maxwell with the perfect window into Leighford’s tight-knit community, where murderers lurk in plain sight. Widowed several years ago, Maxwell now lives a quiet life with his long-suffering cat, Count Metternich. But his sharp mind and sharper instincts make him the town’s most unlikely detective.
These quintessentially English cozy mysteries are set in the quaint little town of Leighford on the South Coast. Leighford’s population trebles in the summer as tourists flock to holiday there. Unfortunately for Peter Maxwell some of these characters will end up dead!
