Clueless: The Penny Detective (The Penny Detective Series) by John Tallon Jones (G-L-R) (3 Reviews)    Price verified 22 minutes ago

Introducing: Clueless (The Penny Detective) The Penny Detective Series has been designed to be read in any order . Morris is hired to track down a large sum of money by a man who smells of Blue Stratos and Turkish cigarettes. Instinct tells him that there is something wrong with the story he is being told, but curiosity and the need to eat make him accept the case. The more he digs, the less he understands and the seedier and more dangerous it gets. Can Morris unravel the clues and solve the case? Will his rich, aristocratic girlfriend, Cynthia, persuade him to give up being a detective and get a proper job? All will be revealed in the latest Penny Detective, but as usual, not until the final pages. WARNING: This Book will not be a life-changing experience Fans of intellectual literature should look away now or try something more classical. All Penny Detective books contain no messages, big words or complicated plots, but they will, hopefully, while away a couple of hours and entertain. If you are still not convinced, the terrific thing about Amazon is that you can read the first couple of chapters for free. Believe me; these books don't get any better or worse after that. John Tallon Jones (Author) John Tallon Jones is to literary intellectuals what John Milton (Paradise Lost) and Leo Tolstoy were, to having a 'good laugh.' This is disposable fiction at the sharp end, nothing more. What are people saying about the Penny Detective? Post Online The author has made the main character, Morris Shannon, vulnerable and sarcastic, and I can relate to this, as will most readers. The creation of an alcoholic but brilliant sidekick is inspirational, and this alone makes it different from anything else you will read. Kindle Detective Stories A fantastic read from start to finish. If I had a problem, I would definitely not hire Morris and Shoddy to sort it out.

As sharp and cutting as a blade, these prime cuts of bloody British crime fiction, from the author of Fighting Talk and The Glasgow Grin, catch the Stanton brothers at their most fierce and foul-mouthed. Bone-crunching action, wisecracking dialogue, and a rogue's gallery of savage villains are all here in the most exciting collection of the year.

The twists and action in this cracking tale will have you laughing with surprise and keep you on the edge of your seat until the satisfying finale. In The Beautiful Game and The Greatest Show in Town (substantially reworked and rewritten since their first publication in 2012), the brothers go up against a gang of youths with a taste for robbing football fans and Barry 'The Baztard' Brownlow and his titanium knuckles. In One Sixteenth and The Fight, the brothers inflict their own special brand of chaos on anybody foolish enough to cross their paths. This is punishing northern Brit Grit at its most brutal and funny. It's not for wallflowers or the faint of heart. But if you're feeling brave, come and have a go at the Stanton brothers if you think you're hard enough. WARNING: CONTAINS VERY STRONG LANGUAGE AND VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT.
