The Colours of Murder by Ali Carter
The second Susie Mahl Mystery. If only death came with a warning'This is a well paced and exciting readMore please!'
'It's a rare talent that creates a work that is both whip smart, fast paced and at the same time gloriously genteel. Carter is that talent.' * Amanda Prowse *
‘This whip-smart, pacey, yet at the same time effortlessly genteel Christie homage is a more than welcome return for Ali Carter’s artistic amateur sleuth Susie Mahl…. Susie is everything a cosy detective should be – absorbing, witty, warm, charming, funny and endlessly inquisitive. Carter has created a character Agatha Christie would be proud of – a sort of 21st century Jane Marple, although it is hard to imagine what that most correct and starchy lady would have thought about Susie’s passion for racy French silk underwear!’
* Crime Review *‘A Christie homage whose upper-crust humour targets readers who recognize the differences between a country house and a stately home.’
* Kirkus *‘Charming... I loved it.’
* Promoting Crime *Praise for A Brush with Death:
'A riveting, charming and very funny new crime series from the fabulously talented Ali Carter.' Piers Morgan
'A delicious new voice in crime writing... Excellent on the English aristocracy and written in a fine wry style.' Daily Mail
'Absorbing, charming and funny, A Brush With Death heralds a fresh and welcome new voice in crime writing. Susie Mahl is also a welcome new detective: witty, warm and very inquisitive.' Antonia Fraser
Ali Carter was born in Scotland and read art history at St Andrews. There followed an eclectic career in investment management, retail and technology; then in 2011 she had a catastrophic bicycling accident. After major brain surgery and a long recovery, Ali set herself a challenge to walk alone from Canterbury to Rome, a three-month pilgrimage she wrote about in her book, An Accidental Jubilee by Alice Warrender. From then she decided to follow her passion and become a fine artist, specialising in oil paintings from life with an emphasis on colour. Ali works from her studio in East Sussex and also draws pet portraits to commission. She is the author of A Brush with Death.
