The Shoestring Effect

Morris Shannon and his sidekick Shoddy are once again on the trail of a killer in the fourth book of the series.This is a tale of suspense and murder that takes place in Liverpool in the 1980s. The two friends are trying their best to cut through a web of lies and intrigue to get to the truth while having a laugh along the way.

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.
