I want to talk today about my box sets.

There are three of them, unsurprisingly titled I, 2, and 3!

We have been busy revising and updating them, putting on new covers, and most importantly, reducing the price on all of them.

All three contain four full-length books, with no filler.

Readers can save a good amount of cash by opting for the box sets over buying each book individually, so it’s worth doing.

Note: box sets are only available as Ebooks, because of the file size and 2,000 odd pages makes them unsuitable to put out in paperback.

Here are the three box sets available.

Click on each for more information and to take you to the sales page.

Enjoy,

David Carter,

PS: Don’t forget the new book in the series “Crying Roses” is released on October 31^st, and you can find out what it is about, and pre-order here.

All the best,

DC

Hello there, wherever you may be.

We have a vacancy for up to six ARC readers for English detective stories. That is advanced reader copies, for reading and review.

Ideally, we would like the reviews placing within five days of the book being released.

You get a free ebook copy of the book before anyone else sees it. This copy would be for your eyes and your eyes only. Sorry, we cannot supply paperback copies because it works out as too expensive.

It’s likely you will have placed book reviews on Amazon before, and you must have the capability to do so.

If you would like to join our small but enthusiastic team, drop me a quick line here for more information.

Thanks for reading,

Best wishes,

David Carter.

Very pleased to relate the new Walter Darriteau book for 2024, the fifteenth in the series is now finished and ready. It will be released at the end of October, and pre-orders can be bought HERE.

It’s called “Crying Roses” and is a chunky book too, but not in two parts. Well over 400 pages.

Here’s a brief description:

Imagine waking every morning, a stranger inside your head, telling you to kill people before bedtime.

Last thing at night, the bowling club president, Barnabus Reynolds, is busy cashing up, preparing to go home. Everyone else has gone. He believes he is alone; but is he?

At nine the next morning, the caretaker opens up to find Barnabus splayed out on his office floor, dead and gone. There is no blood to be seen, no cuts, no sign of any injury, and no murder weapon. Could it have been a heart attack or stroke?

He checks the top drawer for yesterday’s takings and finds nothing. Could it have been a robbery? How did the widely loved Barnabus meet his end? The caretaker is baffled and upset in equal measure, as he makes a call, summoning the emergency services.

“Crying Roses” is the fifteenth book in the Inspector Walter Darriteau series, another chunky standalone novel, and one to keep any reader interested, featuring strong characters capable of jumping straight into the reader’s brain.

And here’s that link again to reserve your copy to ensure you get your ebook on the day of release. We are aiming to have the paperback out on that day too, though it might be a day or two later. ORDER HERE

Thanks for reading.

News of the first new Inspector Walter Darriteau book for 2023.

“The Final Door - Part One” is now available on Amazon to order.

Here’s more information and the blurb:

Important Note for readers:

“The Final Door” is the largest case-story Inspector Walter Darriteau has ever dealt with. The full investigation runs to over 700 pages and has been split into Parts One and Two. The book promoted here is Part One only. Readers should know all plot threads will not be resolved during Part One. Here’s the blurb.   

“On a squally November night beside the Dee estuary on the Wirral peninsula, a man falls to his death from Thurstaston cliffs. But was it an accident, suicide or murder? Who is the victim, why would anyone want to kill him, and if it was murder, who is responsible?

Thirty minutes later, a pair of tripping, giggling kids ring the emergency services to report the incident.

Wirral police were busy dealing with a catastrophic traffic pile-up on the M53, and seek help from neighbouring Chester. At midnight, Inspector Walter Darriteau was disturbed at home and asked to attend the incident to examine the scene, and secure the body.

So begins “The Final Door – Part One”, the eleventh book in the Inspector Walter Darriteau series, a chunky story that takes the reader on a journey no one could have foreseen after that initial phone call set everything in motion.”

This is a work of fiction.

As you might expect Part two is to follow. More information on that as we have it.

Click on the Amazon ad for more information and to order.

“Running Forever”, Book II in the Meredith Hawkes series, is available to order now.

Here’s the blurb:

Meredith Hawkes is on the move again, this time to Woodbridge in Suffolk.

After he’s found a bed for the night, he searches for a town-centre pub serving food, and goes inside. There’s a striking young woman propping up the bar, laptop, tablet, and newspaper spread out before her.

Hawkes buys a drink and orders food. The girl ignores him. A broad man comes in, hustles up to the girl, and kicks off, telling her to keep her nose out of his affairs, or she’ll regret it. He’s sure upset about something, but that’s it, and he’s gone as fast as he arrived.

Hawkes sympathises with the girl, but she imagines he’s trying to pick her up, and is abrupt with him. He shrugs his shoulders, and moves away to sit in the corner to eat his dinner.

Ten minutes later, the girl packs away her things, and makes to leave. But at the door, she pauses and approaches his table, and apologises for being rude. Water off a duck’s back to him, as he points to the opposite chair, and she accepts the invite, sits down, and orders food.

She has a story to tell, and needs help in unravelling it, and it isn’t long before she discovers he’s just the kind of guy she can share her troubles with.

So begins “Running Forever”, the second in a series of Meredith Hawkes stories, and one that contains massive criminality, murder, and death, and it’s no surprise that everyone Hawkes meets is not as they first appear.

“The Sound of Sirens” Special Time-Limited Offer!

And now for something new and different…

The first book in David Carter’s new thriller series, “Don’t Forget to Breathe” is now available to pre-order.

Released on August 18^th 2022, the second and third books in the series are scheduled for release one month and two months later.

Here’s the blurb:

“Meredith Hawkes has just left the Royal Navy after serving twenty years. His father, brother and sister are expecting him back at the family’s detached bungalow up on the Wirral, but Hawkes has other ideas.

He wants to travel, not across the globe, but to the hundreds of small country towns spread across England, places he has never visited before.

Hawkes reckons it will prove a quiet relaxing time. He feels truly free for the first time in years, and perhaps he might meet the woman of his dreams.

But it doesn’t turn out that way.

It seems rural and coastal towns have a story all of their own, and Hawkes has a knack of stumbling across people and events most people would choose to avoid.

“Don’t Forget to Breathe” is the first book in a new series of British thrillers from the creator of the Inspector Walter Darriteau stories.”

Pre-order now and you won’t be charged until the release date of August 18^th 2022.
