Back in 2019 I released the first Detective Matthews novel - a character who originally appeared in my D: Whitby's Darkest Secret novel. Since then I have enjoyed going back to the beginning to discovering more about the detective. Book 1 - The Planting of the Penny Hedge saw Matthews return to Whitby and begin his career as the towns detective. It's now time to delve into book 2... I will reveal the title of book 2 in due course. For now, please enjoy the opening chapters. P
