    About this series

    We're under starter's orders for the next Kit and Mary Aston mystery!



    When Kit and Mary Aston visit the Newmarket stables of an old friend who is training a potential Derby winner, they stumble into a new case. The death of Teddy Harrison seems to be an open and shut case of suicide. Yet, the manner of his death raises suspicions as the two men who found him were rumored to be paramours to the dead man's wife.



    Kit meets an old detective sparring partner from his days at school in Cambridge. Together with Mary, they investigate one of the twistiest mysteries you will come across.



    The latest Kit and Mary Aston mystery is both a 'how-dunnit' and a 'whodunnit'.



    The Newmarket Murders is squeaky clean, with the usual mixture of puzzling plot, laugh out loud lines, and surprise ending. A perfect standalone book for racing enthusiasts, or why not join thousands of others who enjoy the Kit Aston mystery books? Fans of T E Kinsey, Agatha Christie, Benedict Brown, and Verity Bright will be hooked.

      Music, Magic . . . Murder—1920's Golden Age mysteries don't come any twistier or funnier October 1921. Kit and Mary Aston are asked by their friend, police artist Rufus Watts, to investigate threatening letters that have been sent to the performers in his family's seaside variety theatre. They arrive to find out that temperamental magician, Javier Gonzalo, has lost his head, quite literally, mid act. With the help of old associates, Chief Inspector Jellicoe, the newly promoted, Detective Inspector Wellbeloved, and Rufus Watts, Kit and Mary soon find themselves in the middle of a race against time before the murderer strikes again in a case where revenge is the motive and everyone is putting on an act. After the Indiana Jones-like adventure in The Tangier Tajine, Kit and Mary Aston return to a more traditional murder mystery set in the world of post-war variety theatre just before the arrival of moving pictures and radio sounded the death knell to this wonderful realm of entertainment.
