About this eBook
Cherringham - a quiet town in the Cotswolds. Nothing ever happens there, or so it seems - until one morning a woman's body is found in the river. A terrible accident, according to the police. But is this true? Sarah believes there must be more to it. In Jack, a former NYPD homicide detective, she finds a partner who is willing to start investigating with her. They soon find out that things are not as clear as the police want them to be ... This first - of many cases brings Sarah and Jack together in an unlikely partnership.
Cherringham is a serial novel à la Charles Dickens, with a new mystery thriller released each month. Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.
For fans of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series, Lilian Jackson Braun's The Cat Who series, Caroline Graham's Midsomer Murders, and the American TV series Murder She Wrote, starring Angela Lansbury.
Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), are known for their script work on major computer games. The Cherringham crime series is their first fictional transatlantic collaboration.

Former NYPD homicide detective Jack Brennan is a widow who went to England after his wife's death. He can be rather curmudgeonly. When a woman is found dead on the nearby weir he avoids getting back in the game. After he turns away the woman's friend, Sarah Edwards, he has second thoughts about the death and together they begin an investigation. Good sleuthing and better diligence. Well done! Voice actor Neil Gudgeon is excellent at his craft.

As I live on the Thames this popped at me, what a great find! Lovely little story that had me gripped all the way through! Just a perfect size to read with a coffee! Just about to get the next in the series for my afternoon read! Thank you! I wish I had a jack moared nearby! How interesting his character seems?!
