Mrs Capper's Christmas: A fun, festive murder mystery in the first of Mrs Capper's Casebooks 29 Nov, 2021

by David W Robinson

( 131 )

₹ 199.00

Is it an armed robbery or a terrorist incident? Either way it’s making ex-police officer turned blogger, vlogger, and private investigator, Christine Capper late for an appointment at Haxford public library.

Her former colleagues don’t seem to be making much headway in the search for the town’s infrequent serial killer the Graveyard Poisoner. Not that it has any bearing on Christine’s work, but she’s, well, simply nosy.

With three murders to follow, a vandalised spy camera, library books missing, one of her favourite shopkeepers hospitalised, an automobile obsessed husband, and a lazy cat, Christine is getting nowhere fast, and to compound matters, she keeps forgetting to festoon her wall clock with Christmas decorations. It’s all part of… Mrs Capper’s Christmas.

The first in a brand new series of light-hearted mysteries from the creator of the Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries.

Murder at the Christmas Meddlercon (#26 - Sanford Third Age Club Mystery) (STAC - Sanford Third Age Club Mystery) 23 Dec, 2022

by David W Robinson

( 99 )

₹ 199.00

It’s coming up to Christmas, and Joe is in the wars.

Suffering from an unidentified gastric problem, he’s banned from working behind the counter of his beloved Lazy Luncheonette. To make matters worse, Brenda and Sheila have decided to treat him to a weekend in Leeds where they will attend the annual Christmas Meddlercon, a convention which attracts the stars and fans of TVs most popular crime series, the Meddler Murder Mysteries.

From the outset he is at odds with the convention organiser, the dowdy but forthright Sammy Pallister. Then, he clashes with the head writer, Ernestia Berkeley, and his spirits sink further when a familiar, dirt-digging, investigative reporter turns up incognito.

And things are about get worse. In the early hours of the morning, Joe is called to account for his whereabouts after a body has been found behind the hotel/convention centre. After dealing with the police, he goes back to bed, only to be dragged in front of his old adversary, Superintendent Ray Dockerty, after a second body has been discovered.

Joe and Dockerty call a truce, and the superintendent asks Joe to keep an eye on things but not to ‘poke his nose in’. Can Joe resist the temptation? Of course not.

A double murder, a television cast riding on their egos, personal clashes, and the ever urgent need to deal with his gastric problems, create a weekend of chaos for Joe’s 26th Sanford 3rd Age Club Mystery, as he tries to crack…

The gloves are off, the loins are girded

’Tis the season to be murdered…

Has Joe finally met his match – a Yorkshireman even grumpier than him?

In wild, wet and windy weather, Joe and his nephew, Lee, turn up at Rough Riders Caravan Park for a pre-Christmas weekend away together with Lee’s wife, Cheryl, and son, Danny.

Immediately, Joe gets into a confrontation with park owner, irritable, failed artist, Arnold Chew, and within twenty-four hours, Sheila and Brenda arrive in time to learn that two men have been murdered – leaving Joe a suspect.

While Lee and Danny enjoy Scarborough’s Christmas offerings, Joe crosses paths with old friends and old enemies alike, but he’s urgently short of time to pin down the killer.

Is Brenda jealous of Sandra or concerned for Joe? Has Sheila recovered from the debacle of last Christmas? Has Sandra really changed her ways? What is the dark secret of Van Zero? And will Danny ever learn not to be quite so truthful?

’Tis The Season to be Murdered… A Christmas conundrum of the Joe Murray kind in the 21st outing of the Sanford 3rd Age Club Mysteries.

A Call to Murder: Two deaths 150 miles apart but are they linked in this gripping mystery (Mrs Capper's Casebook Book 7) 28 Feb, 2023

by David W Robinson

( 5 )

₹ 198.00

IT’S THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR for the Cappers and they’re looking forward to seeing a niece dressed in white and walking into the wedding room at Gaven Hall near Cambridge.

But Christine is far from relaxed. She’s left a nasty and unfinished case of harassment back in Haxford, where there’s also a radio station preparing to live without her. Add to that a missing bridge near Huntingdon, and a crazy driver running them off road, hidden mobile phones in Cambridge and in Haxford, and then there’s another death, in Cambridge this time. And Dennis is a suspect.

Confronted with a stubborn DCI, a crowd of academics and a peer of the realm, none of whom want to talk, and back in Haxford, a farmer insistent that he’s done nothing wrong, and it all adds up to a nightmare for Christine.

Will the solution to one mystery help with the other? Find out in…

A by-election looming and a routine rainy day becomes anything but routine for Christine Capper.

Christine isn’t interested in politics but when a sordid case of blackmail is set before her, she reluctantly agrees to take it on when she thinks she recognises a name. Less than twenty-four hours later a man lies dead in the street and Christine comes under pressure to reveal what she knows.

Then Reggie Monk, star of Radio Haxford, makes her an offer she can’t refuse.

But it’s not all plain sailing. Threatened, then attacked, she’s confronted with a pivotal moment in her life, one which threatens her comfort and security.

Death at the Wool Fair: A gripping murder mystery for the determined Christine Capper (Mrs Capper's Casebook Book 2) 5 Mar, 2022

by David W Robinson

( 43 )

₹ 198.00

It’s the week of the annual Wool Fair in Haxford and if Christine Capper is looking forward to visiting with her granddaughter, the owner of the travelling fair has other ideas when he call upon Christine for help.

There’s something not quite right about Francois, the owner of Ketchak’s Funfair and as he complains that someone has sent him a death threat, Christine has her doubts, but when his brake lines are cut she changes her mind.

She finds his family, Rachel, Gina, Nick and his second in command, the muscular hunk, Ossie Travis, disinterested, uncommunicative and in some instances, downright obstructive, and things are not improved twenty fours later when the ghost train plays host to killing.

Resentful fairground workers, an Adonis distracting her, a playful but unruly collie, an irritated police inspector and stolen buns, it all spells a frustrating mystery for Haxford’s only private investigator in her second outing…

It’s the height of summer and Bonnie Scotland for Joe, Sheila and Brenda. Not that Joe wants to go, but TV megastar Carr Hanover enlists his help and is willing to pay handsomely for it.

Once there, Joe meets the determined yet alluring movie director, Mitch MacKechnie, who dismisses Carr’s fears as nonsense, but when one of the team is murdered and another disappears, Joe is drawn into a nightmare puzzle where everyone lives in fear of TV Mogul, Otis Kristiansen, and his non-disclosure contracts – and no one is willing to speak out.

Set in Inverness and on the shores of Loch Ness, with the fabulous Scottish Highlands as a backdrop, Brenda hobbles along on a busted ankle, Sheila lectures them on the history of the beautiful city, and Mitch’s attentions and the fresh Highland countryside offer Joe the only respite from a…

The Sanford 3rd Age Club are on the road again and this time it’s the south side of the Humber Estuary and the pretty little resort of Cleethorpes.

As usual, it doesn’t take long for things to start happening; this time at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel. A poisoning sparks Joe’s sense of intrigue, but when one of his members goes missing – apparently abandoning a disabled wife – the fireworks begin.

Why is the manager using a false name? How many different affairs are the Shoreline Swingsters involved in? How did George come by that bruise on his cheek, and why does Alma insist that Joe & Co mind their own business? And who is the trim blonde seen hugging Mort in a Grimsby shopping centre?

As tempers become frayed, Joe is almost at the end of his tether, and to make matters worse, his smoker’s chest is aggravating him further.

All in all, he and his two friends will be glad to sort out the…

( 189 )

₹ 222.00

“A mystery worth waiting for.”
The Sanford 3rd Age Club are off to Whitby, hunting treasure. But some things have changed.

Joe no longer travels with them, preferring to join his lady friend, Maddy Chester, and meet up with the rest of the club at the Westhead Hotel. But Sheila will not take part in the treasure hunt. She is harbouring a big secret, which she will not divulge even to her best friend, Brenda.

And all is far from well at the Westhead. The dictatorial Kim Ashton is on the verge of taking over the hotel, aiming her acid at the guests, staff, and even the organisers of the treasure hunt. Her partner and his son by a previous marriage don’t escape Kim’s vitriol either.

When a body is found within twenty-four hours of the 3rd Age Club’s arrival, a reluctant Joe, already driven to distraction cracking the cryptic clues on the treasure hunt, swings into action, bringing all his investigative skills to bear on the crime.
But it seems that this is the one murder which will defeat him…

Or will it?

Dive straight into this brand-new instalment of the Amazon-bestselling Sanford 3rd Age Club Mystery series, which fans have called “witty…enjoyable…true to life…with a pleasant change of pace and atmosphere”!
