The Eve Mallow mysteries

Eve is an obituary writer. The idea for her came after listening to a fascinating interview with Margalit Fox, who fulfilled that role for the New York Times. It got me thinking about the unique insight obituary writers must get into a dead person’s personality and how they were viewed by others. It seemed like the perfect profession for an amateur sleuth! The Suffolk (UK) setting harks back to happy childhood holidays. My grandmother lived there, by the sea, and Eve’s dog Gus is based on her wire-haired dachshund, Huw.

Books one to twelve in the series can be purchased now in Kindle, paperback or Audible formats and book thirteen is available to pre-order:

 

A flavour of the Eve Mallow mysteries

  • A village setting,
  • with a cosy pub
  • and some woods,
  • close to the marshes,
  • the estuary
  • and the sea.
  • Also featuring Gus, Eve’s dachshund!

For anyone who knows Suffolk, I’ve created a fictional village – Saxford St Peter – for the series, but I’ve pinched elements of Blythburgh, Dunwich and Walberswick. The pub in the slideshow above is the wonderful White Hart Inn in Blythburgh.
