“Comparisons with Midsomer Murders are inevitable, but Cherringham comes out on top when it comes to originality and – probably most crucially – the avoidance of irritating stereotypes” Killing Time Crime
“An unlikely pairing but a good one… the mystery itself was well drawn and intriguing.” Liz Loves Books
“The perfect partnership…I’m looking forward to reading the next one”

“A winning charm” Crime Thriller Fella
“A quick engaging read” The Bookbag

Nothing ever happens in the small Cotswold village of Cherringham, making it the perfect place to retire to – or so ex-NYPD Detective Jack Brennan thought. But before long, local web designer and single mother Sarah Edwards had convinced him to help her investigate a suspicious suicide. Since then, he and Sarah have solved mysterious deaths, unlikely accidents and perplexing robberies. “Peace and quiet” never really suited Jack anyway…

Cherringham is an ongoing “cosy crime” eBook series, that launched in December 2013 and features unlikely sleuthing duo Sarah and Jack. Released in monthly episodes, it is written by award-winning game and TV writers UK-based Neil Richards and US-based Matthew Costello in a transatlantic collaboration – which mirrors that of Jack and Sarah. The new series, released from March, launches with A Lesson in Murder, in which the two are asked to investigate the violent death of a popular teacher at Cherringham Girls School.
