Murder at the Voodoo Lounge: The Penny Detective

Introducing: Murder at the Voodoo Lounge (The Penny Detective Series)
The Penny Detective Series has been designed to be read in any order

From hiding behind bushes trying to catch a vegetable thief, Morris Shannon gets three cases at once, and his detecting skills are tested to the limit. With the help of his alcoholic partner, Shoddy, he has two murders and a robbery to solve to earn his wages.

Can Morris and Shoddy solve the mysteries? Will Morris be able to resist the seductive powers of one of his recently widowed clients? All will be revealed in this new Penny Detective mystery, but as usual, not until the final page.

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?
Liverpool Echo

’Take Hercule Poirot, Philip Marlowe, and Inspector Clouseau rolled into one, and you have the Penny Detective. This is a highly imaginative five-star read.’

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 to anything else you will ever read.’

Goodreads

If you don’t know the Penny Detective series, grab a book now, you might be missing a killer!

Chester Mail

Classic noir with a twist and some good old-fashioned British humour. The Penny Detective seems to get better and better.
