#1 - Long Man's Shadow
A intriguing and gripping murder mystery set in the depths of leafy Sussex. Could the widowed Mrs Stonier be the the new Miss Marple?

Having taken early retirement from her job in publishing, she now works in The Home of Taste, a retro-vintage shop. This is useful as she has ‘downsized’ to a flat in Stoke Newington and needs to organise her ‘tat’. While sorting through her boxes, she comes across one containing photos, labelled the Brittan albums, which she had bought with her late husband at a car boot sale in Essex 10 years earlier. The photos were taken in the 1930s. On a foray to Sussex to stay with her sister, a body is discovered. It is in a well at Willmans House, Fairlingly, where renovation work is being carried out. Apparently the female body has been there some time. Our amateur detective realises that this is where the photographs in the albums were taken.

Using her new-found skills from her evening classes on family history, she begins to research the families in the photos, the Brittans and, their close neighbours, the Jeavingtons. Gradually their profiles begin to emerge. However, in Sussex, despite the help of her sister and the local vicar in unravelling the mystery, there is unexpected local opposition to her enquiries. Why so many years after a murder had been committed should there be so much local interest? As Mrs Stonier digs deeper, the questions multiply…

#2 - Dead Man's Shadow
1890, Stoke Newington. A new church is being built… Although quite beautiful, it does not sit well with older members of the community, whoare all members of the Church of England. The pastor, Tristan King, insists on calling the lord, ‘my father’ and preaches not from an altar, but on a dais with a golden throne to his followers, the brothers of the Ark of the Covenant. And while some may object, others are strangely captivated by his message of hope...

Stoke Newington, present day. Will and Bella have just bought an old house, and Bella’s mother, Alex, has agreed to help do it up. When the floorboards are torn up, she finds letters written by a man named Edward Barton, requesting deeds relating to a property called Gothic Hall. She starts to investigate the site of the old house, and learns that bones were found nearby during some construction work.

There’s a mystery to be solved and if there’s one thing Alex likes, it’s a good mystery… Tales of arranged marriages, conspiring families and dangerous liasons are soon unravelled, revealing the complicated relationship between Edward Barton and Harriet, a young heiress who longs to be free from her controlling brother. Meanwhile, while conducting her research into the mystery of Edward and Harriet, Alex meets a forceful woman named Jane, who thinks she has a right to ownership of the church, now an important historic building. She claims to be descended from the one of the founders and when Jane thinks Alex has the document she needs to prove her claim, things take a sinister turn.
