If I ask you to think of a cozy British murder mystery, maybe you’ll think of your favorite Miss Marple, or other Christie classics. Now what about a Welsh cozy murder mystery?
It’s just over a year since I wrote to Kings River Life about my foray into writing murder mysteries set in a small town in Wales. When I wrote last, I was about to publish the second in my series of books about DI Daniel Owen. Book six in the series will be released on 31 March. It’s called An Allotment of Time, and it tells the story of how Daniel deals with leaving the police, and forges a new identity for himself. Of course, it’s a murder mystery as well because what’s the point of a book without a body or two scattered around the small north Wales town of Melin Tywyll?
In 2016 my employer made me an offer I couldn’t refuse - a large sum of money to quit my job. My partner and I thought about it for maybe as long as thirty seconds before I signed the paperwork.
