Creature Discomforts : A Cold Case Murder Mystery Series

In May 2014, a single crack echoed through the Sunday morning air – the crack of a gunshot that ended the reign of Grant Burnside, the enigmatic figurehead of a ruthless criminal gang. As Swindon grappled with the aftermath, the local police plunged headfirst into a case that seemingly held its secrets tighter than a vault. Each step they took seemed to lead to an intricate web of unrelated puzzles. Gus Freeman inherited the unsolved cold case where every stone turned revealed the threads of seemingly disparate crimes. The Burnside dynasty maintained their influence with an iron grip that silenced any whisper of dissent. Those who dared defy them were doomed. As Freeman doggedly pursued the truth, he found himself entangled in a tapestry of deceit, betrayal, and hidden motives. This perfect blend of detective mystery and everyday life will delight fans of Sally Rigby, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Simon McCleave, and Pauline Rowson. A gripping series that will have you hooked. PRAISE FOR TED TAYLER:"A strong lead character whose dogged determination wins through helped by his diverse young team” Amazon Customer. “Ted Tayler brilliantly weaves the details of the mysterious murder dropping bread crumbs for readers to follow. We follow Freeman and his team as they interview witnesses, suspects, and friends of the victim. Along with his liberal use of British colloquialisms, he enriches the flavour of the tale. His prose brings the investigation to life. I think Gus Freeman will be as appealing as The Phoenix. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a solid mystery.” Elizabeth. “Gus Freeman is a multi-dimensional character who is not only called on to help solve a crime, but also deal with his personal issues. It is always a joy to read this author's stories. He is not just a writer but a great storyteller.” Amy Shannon. "A fabulous find! Ted Tayler is gifted in making sure the reader becomes an integral part of what he has written, become one with the book." Dora.
