The Gypsy Hill Murders (#1)
The Gypsy Hill Murders is the work of P. J. Thurbin, a new writer to the fictional crime scene. He has a unique and fast moving style that will appeal to the reader who likes mysteries that are in the genre of those by John Grisham and M.C. Beaton.
His book has all the ingredients that one would expect to find in a classic murder mystery. It is centered on an ivy covered Victorian house set within the campus of a modern University just outside London. A group of five academics find themselves embroiled in a series of vicious attacks that are linked to incidents that took place 100 years earlier.
Rough Justice In Academia (#2)
Rough Justice in Academia is the work of P.J. Thurbin, a relatively new writer to the fictional crime scene. His fast moving style will delight the reader who enjoys a likeable cast of characters while at the same time is challenged with having to unravel a mystery. This is the second in a series of books featuring Ralph Chalmers, full time university professor and part - time sleuth. It is centered on a modern University campus situated near the town of Kingston upon Thames just 12 miles from London. A group of academics find themselves embroiled in the murder of a retired colleague as he and his wife leave a local theatre. Professor Ralph Chalmers attempts to unravel the links between an incident involving suspected cheating by two students while taking their final University examinations some 20 years earlier and the murder.
The Dorich House Mystery (#3)
Professor Ralph Chalmers is on the sleuthing trail again in Thurbin’s third book in the series. This time he is teamed up with the indomitable Katie Eggerton, friend, and former inmate of Holloway Women’s prison. This is yet another cracking yarn of murder and intrigue involving international art dealers, petty criminals and the world of underworld fraudsters.
When an art valuer in London is found murdered shortly after assessing the University’s collection at Dorich House, it doesn’t take long for Ralph and his new sidekick to get in on the action.
On the home front, Inspector Linham and his faithful Sergeant Wilson play by the book and tow a fine line to solve the murder while at the same time accepting any help they can get from Chalmers.
Murder at High Tide (#4)
Thurbin does not disappoint in this, his fourth book in the Ralph Chalmers mystery series. When Ralph finds himself the beneficiary of a rather sizeable inheritance from his Uncle Harry, he decides to throw his usual caution to the wind and uses it to buy a yacht and a cottage on the North Devon coast. The discovery of an abandoned fishing trawler in a rocky cove soon sets the scene for his involvement in gang warfare, smuggling and possibly murder. Not surprisingly, the feisty Katie Eggerton, his friend and assistant, joins him in applying his sleuthing skills to investigate a series of mysterious happenings near the sleepy seaside village of Clovelly. Katie indulges her passion for horse riding on the moors while Ralph takes time from his work to join a watercolour painting workshop. Their summer idyll is shattered when it becomes clear that the death of an Olympic Show jumper from what was thought to be a riding accident has more sinister implications.
The Devon police and Europol investigate an International smuggling operation linked to Al Qaeda and grudgingly accept help from Ralph and Katie. A pair of eccentric antiques dealers, a flamboyant restaurant owner, a wealthy retired industrialist and the stressed out local doctor are just some of the many characters that our adventurous pair get to know at the Vicar’s garden party.
Murder at Seething Wells (#5)
Kingston University professor, Ralph Chalmers, aided by the indomitable Katie Eggerton continues his efforts as amateur sleuth in Thurbin’s fifth book in the Ralph Chalmers Mysteries. The doughty Professor finds himself caught between loyalty to his University’s reputation and exposing an unethical research scientist on the staff in another tale of murder and intrigue.
When claims of a breakthrough for a vaccine that tackles the SARS virus attracts attention from international terrorists and a Chinese pharmaceutical corporation, Ralph and Katie become embroiled in the murky dealings that underpin the shadier side of corporate funded scientific research. As the stakes get higher the villains are standing by, ready to grab the money regardless of who gets hurt in the process.
