Flawed: Penny Detective 9 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781535021241)

Introducing: FlawedThe Penny Detective Series

John Tallon Jones

The Penny Detective Series has been designed to be read in any order.

The Plot

Private detective Morris Shannon is hired to find a missing girl and is plunged into a brutal murder investigation in this classic British whodunit. Morris is not your typical detective, and neither is his alcoholic partner, Shoddy. The two of them chase the truth in this 1980s retro adventure that will keep you guessing until the last page.

Will Morris solve the mystery? As in all of the Penny Detective books, it is never a foregone conclusion so try to guess yourself.

If you like British detective stories, you will love Morris Shannon.

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?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 from anything else you will read.

Kindle Detective Stories

A fantastic read from start to finish. If I had a problem, I would definitely not hire Morris and Shoddy to sort it out.

Post Online

An absorbing insight into the seedier side of detecting; Morris has a black sense of humour, and the storyline is engrossing and very edgy

The Chester Standard (free paper)

Chester's own author comes up five-stars again in this gripping yarn, with comedy as black as a darkened room. Recommended reading for anyone that loves a good old fashioned whodunit:

Goodreads

This is a fabulous book that builds tension and sets an atmosphere that at times is frightening but never dull. Original with a twist.

Eastern Press Reviews

Probably one of my top ten reads so far this year

Post Online

A colourful cast of characters and locations reminiscent of Guy Ritchie films. The dialogue and characters seem very authentic.

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.

The Irish Gazette (free journal)

Well developed plot and characters. You can't help but fall in love with Morris or feel sorry for his long-suffering sidekick.
