Imagine your neighbours begin to die in a series of accidents. Only they aren't accidents... Someone is murdering Greg Unsworth's neighbours and staging the deaths to look like accidents. Greg knows the truth, but when he's grappling with OCD and simply closing his front door and crossing the road are a battle, how is he supposed to stop a serial killer? An Amazon US Top #100 bestseller from the author of WHERE THE DEAD WALK, VESSEL and COLD SWEATS & VIGNETTES. Discover a murder mystery with a difference... Meet Greg Unsworth, afflicted with OCD, who begins to realize a series of fatal accidents on his street are in fact a series of murders. After encountering Beth Grue at the scene of one such crime, the two share their suspicions. Beth, a local librarian, aspiring author, and a woman who has never allowed herself to be defined by her cerebral palsy, agrees they have to do something. So when the police repeatedly dismiss their concerns, they take matters into their own hands, seek to discover the Kettle Street killer's identity and expose him before he claims his next victim... Praise for Death Stalks Kettle Street: 'An exciting and compelling read. I loved the brilliant way that disability was explored and humanised.' - Francesca Martinez - Award winning comedian, actress and writer. 'So much more than your average whodunnit.' - Tracy Fenton - THE Book Club, CompulsiveReaders.com 'A book this good is no accident.' - Iain Grant - Bestselling author. 'Will keep you guessing all the way.' - Barbara Copperthwaite - Bestselling crime author. What Amazon reviewers are saying - - completely unputdownable! Not your traditional who-dun-it, Death Stalks Kettle Street is a character fueled murder mystery, cleverly written, shining a comedic insight into the quintessential English street. - I could not put this down. And when you think you know who did it, you will most likely be wrong. Loved it. - Wow! I absolutely LOVED this book! I'm always looking to be surprised by the books that I read, I like something a little different-a twist on the norm. And this book had it all for me! - Brilliant, quirky and charming, I could go on and on. John Bowen has written and absolute corker of a book which I struggled to put down. - Beth has cerebral palsy and Greg OCD, however, they complement each other and add that much more heart to the story. I myself have been diagnosed with OCD and found that the subject is very accurately described and given the respect the subject deserves. - A gripping 'cosy' murder mystery, one of the best I've read in a long time. An absolute must for the fans of Agatha Christie. Well written, intelligent, with wonderful, original characters and unpredictable, suspenseful storyline. - What a gem of a book! I loved the characters, the plot, the beautiful prose - just everything! - A thoroughly enjoyable read, with many jaw dropping moments. - I love both quirky reads and old fashioned 'cosy crime' novels; this is a brilliant combining of the two to give a modern challenging 'whodunnit' puzzle with some fabulous lead characters. It has some great twists and turns, enough convincing 'suspects' for you to consider but I think Greg and Beth are the real stars of this book. - So much more than just a murder/mystery book. Full of wonderful characters! - a brilliant murder mystery that keeps you guessing right until the end. With lots of twists and wonderful character moments throughout this is a book I won't easily forget. - If you are a sucker for a great 'who dunnit' that keeps you guessing right until the end then this is definitely one for you - BUT this book is so much more than that!!
