BARBARA MORTON...MARCH 22nd
 
BA Morton writes Crime thrillers, 
Romance and Historical Fiction.
She shares her rural Northumberland home with 
her family and a collection of animals.
Mrs Jones is the first book to feature 
Detective Tommy Connell.
 
Review by writer, Kristen Gleeson
 
"Mrs. Jones is a 
pacey thriller that was hugely enjoyable with enough twists to satisfy anyone 
looking for a great escape on a rainy weekend. Mrs. Jones, a young English 
woman in trouble, is understandably appealing to Connell, the hardbitten New 
York detective, who's had his own troubles. We follow Connell's attempts to 
protect Mrs. Jones from the various people that are after her and, like Mrs. 
Jones, we can fall under Connell's spell. We cheer as he bends the rules and 
understand that his imperfections only make him more human. Both characters are 
compelling and strong and contribute to a strong and interesting plot."
 

A British girl with a secret.
A New York cop with a past.
And a mob that wants revenge


In the slickest, sneakiest twistiest-turniest hard-boiled crime noir novel to come out in a long time, ruggedly pragmatic but honest cop Detective Tommy Connell picks up an English girl, Mrs Jones, who claims to be the witness to a murder, and promptly falls in love with her.


Well, Mrs Jones, whoever she is, must be very attractive because an awful lot of people seem to want to get their hands on her if they can prise her from Connell's determined grasp, including some prominent representatives of organised crime and the Feds.


Detective Connell definitely has his work cut out here if he wants to end up with the body of Mrs Jones, dead or alive, that's for sure.


All-in-all it's probably safe to say he hasn't a clue what is going on. It is probably equally safe to guess that Mrs Jones does.


Not that 'safe' is quite the right word to use here or, there again, maybe it is.


(The next in the series, 'Molly Brown', will be released during 2012).
