The 7th Utterly Crime novel is released, and once again Rebecca Moss Guyver has designed another terrific cover!
Utterly Dusted – the 7th novel in the Utterly Crime Series is available in paperback and ebook format.
The PLOT: Dust clouds can combust with explosive force in the same way that the past can spring up and strike. Chrissie is under pressure with her carpentry business as Christmas approaches. When she is told by DI Clive Merry not to meddle in his cases, she struggles to curb her predictable curiosity. She tries to remain on the sidelines but along with old friends Nick and Matt, is drawn into a whirlpool of stalkers and shadows from the past.
A body is found near a golf course and another is discovered in a water-logged ditch. The tension racks up against the backdrop of an ancient woodland and a search for vintage gifts. The action moves from Bury St Edmunds to Woolpit, Stowmarket to Ipswich, and Onehouse to Framlingham.
I have infused Utterly Dusted with the feel of Suffolk and the gentle humour from the everyday lives of Chrissie, Nick and Matt. This book stands alone but many of the characters previously seen return as the pace quickens and the past ignites.

Rebecca Moss Guyver is the artist who designs the book covers for my Utterly Crime Series.
Wonderful news – she has had her pastel Red Haw Apples (not one of my book covers) selected for the 2017 Pastel Society Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London from 21st February to the 4th March.
I have always known that she is very talented artist, but isn’t it wonderful that she has had her pastel selected.

My latest crime novel – UTTERLY CRUSHED – has been chosen by Suffolk Libraries as one of their Suffolk Loves… books! Imagine how excited and pleased I was when I dropped by to visit Hadleigh Library last week. Wow – there is was on the Suffolk Loves… selection shelves. I had to pinch myself and take a photo, just to show it was actually happening!
This is the 6th novel in the Utterly Crime series – Suffolk based. Like all the previous books in the series, it stands alone but is also part of a sequence with many of the past characters appearing again.
The plot: As the summer of 2012 draws to a close, the Olympic goodwill sweeping Suffolk can’t last. Murder is in the air. A brooding menace takes hold of a film production near Stowmarket. Lives are put at risk and Nick, the on-set carpenter, is blamed. Chrissie, an old colleague helps out, but she too is struggling with her own responsibilities of taking on a business partnership.
Networks of deceit are uncovered by Matt, a part-time internet people tracer, as a memorabilia scam unfolds. Former students of Utterly Academy come together – one of the four dies. Nick finds himself in the frame again and a murder quickly follows. DI Clive Merry discovers that “crush” can take on a whole new meaning for his witnesses.
The action moves across East Anglia, from Stowmarket and Diss to Aldeburgh and Orford Ness; Bury St Edmunds to Grundisburgh and Ipswich.
