Sayers, Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis, LJ Ross, Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders!  'Killing by Colours' is the fourth instalment in Wonny Lea's DCI Martin Phelps series, set in the thriving Welsh capital city of Cardiff.  When the body of the killer's first victim is discovered at a popular Cardiff leisure attraction, key elements of the murder link her death to a macabre colour-themed poem recently sent to DCI Phelps. As the body count rises, the killer teases the team by giving possible clues to the whereabouts of victims and the venues of potential murders, in the form of more poems. Are the killings random acts by a deranged individual, or is there something that links the victims to one another - and even to the DCI himself?  Meanwhile, Martin's sidekick, DS Matt Pryor, is worried about the safety of his boss. Are his fears warranted? Is Martin Phelps on the colour-coded list of potential victims - or is he just the sounding board for the killer's bizarre poetry? _________________________________________  Praise for Wonny Lea's INSANELY GRIPPING detective series:  'A brilliant plot and an excellent story...

Sayers, Faith Martin, J.R. Ellis, LJ Ross, Miss Marple and Midsummer Murders!  'Never Dead' is the fifth novel featuring DCI Martin Phelps and his team, based in the world-famous and vibrant Cardiff Bay.  Newly promoted DI Matt Pryor is disappointed when his first case seems to be a simple death from natural causes - that is, until the post-mortem shows something quite unexpected ...  The elderly man who died on a Cardiff train was murdered - poisoned - by one of the other passengers. But who? There's a photograph in the dead man's pocket - a photograph that matches one owned by young professional Ellie Bevan. Is it just a coincidence that Ellie's the one who stayed with the body until the police arrived - or did she have a more sinister reason for sticking around?  Matt's boss DCI Martin Phelps is delving into a tricky case of his own. The new superintendent is determined to clear up any old cases with a whiff of police corruption about them and Phelps is sent to investigate the decade-old murder of a young Somali man. He soon discovers that the police reports are filled with errors. Sloppy detective work - or a cover-up?  Both Pryor and Phelps soon find themselves surprisingly drawn towards investigating a respected humanitarian charity. Feted by important people, the organisation isn't quite what it seems - and a wrong move could spell disaster... _________________________________________  Praise for Wonny Lea's INSANELY GRIPPING detective series:  'Another fabulous addition to her series which, once started, is difficult to put down' ***** Amazon review  'As usual a really good read from Wonny.
