My books on Kindle

All of my books can be found on Amazon on Kindle

'The Torc Trilogy' consisting of The Belgae Torc (book 1), The Gordian Knot (book 2), Cutting the Gordian Knot The Final Solution (book 3)

An action/adventure set that begins in Iron Age Britain before continuing in modern day. Archaeologist Orlagh Gairn is tasked with finding the torc and researching its dark history.

Fast paced novel with lots of historical references.

The Witness is a psychological thriller featuring a particularly nasty character called Mr Mac.  Not for the faint hearted, this novel includes abduction, rape and murder.  It begins in a beautiful part of Scotland before moving to London.  (Probably my most popular seller)!

The Cellist is a crime novel.  Some of the characters and references from The Witness have found their way into this book.  Detective DS Isobel Woods is introduced here and a series of crime novels that follow her career and personal development begins.

The Photographer, another crime novel featuring characters from The Cellist.  This book continues with Isobel as she and her team work to solve another series of callous murders. 

 The Royal Park Murders is my latest crime novel, published in November 2023.  You have probably guessed that it features Detective Isobel Woods.  More murders and associated crimes blight her patch in London but there is a continuing back story that involves characters from the previous novels. 

All of these novels are available from Amazon on Kindle at just £1.99 or $2.99

I was interviewed a couple of weeks ago when taking part in a Pop Up Bookshop event. 

Authors Spotlight, Kevin Marsh

We asked Kevin Marsh about his books and inspiration. Kevin writes thrillers, crime and adventure/action books.

What inspires you?

I like to people watch and listen in on conversations. (To my wife's annoyance)! I use this to help develop my characters and situations in my books. I also like to visit places both here and abroad and imagine my characters being there, what they would think and say so this helps me to understand different perspectives which is useful when developing characters.

What are you currently working on?

I am half way through writing another crime, the next in my series.

I also have two unpublished crime novels that I am editing, (occasionally). Hopefully, the next one is due out later this year.

What do you enjoy?

I'm a keen cyclist and like to keep fit. I like walking in the countryside, travelling to pubs to sample the local ales. My staples are red wine, chocolate and cheese! I also enjoy reading a good book.

A bit about you and your books.

I write in different genres. My first books were Historical/modern day action adventure novels, a trilogy known as The Torc Trilogy. I then wrote a psychological thriller featuring a very nasty man called Mr Mac. My latest books are Crime novels, featuring DI Isobel Woods. I have three published, two finished but as yet unpublished and another on the way. I have ideas for other types of books so maybe the next one will be different.

Kevin Marsh was born in Canterbury in 1961. He lived and went to school there attending the Technical College, (now Canterbury College), as an apprentice sheet metal worker. During his five years of training he worked at a small local company with his father and brother. In 1981 he was married and moved to Whitstable, (his father's home town).

His first novel, The Belgae Torc, book 1 in the Torc Trilogy, was launched on 30th June 2012. Two more books followed to complete the trilogy then a change of genre produced a psychological thriller then a series of crime novels.

He is now semi-retired from teaching steel fabrication and welding and spends more time writing, walking and cycling.

Synopsis:-

Newly promoted Detective Inspector Isobel Woods is tasked with leading the investigation, then elements of a previous case threaten her wellbeing forcing her to prove to a new boss that she is fit to lead her team.

With resources stretched to the limit, the team must keep themselves and the public safe.

What other surprises will be uncovered before the investigation reaches a satisfactory conclusion?

Testimonials:-

I’ve read most of Kevin’s books and have enjoyed them all, I like the way he re introduces past characters in a new novel.
The Royal park murders lived up to my expectations.

I read a lot of crime thrillers and police procedurals and this one ticked all the boxes with lots of different threads which keep the reader guessing but neatly come together at the end. The characters and locations were well drawn and interesting making for an all round good read.

Really enjoyed this book. Hard to put down. Loved the twists and turns. Enjoyed the fact that many local areas played a part in the story. I particularly enjoyed seeing an honest account of some misogynistic points of view.
Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this classic murder mystery. A lovely addition to this author's bookshelf, with interesting characters and an entertaining storyline, which delves into some police procedural, as well as domestic drama. Highly recommend!

The Royal Park Murders is available from Amazon as a paperback and on Kindle.

Kindle price £1.99 or $2,50  (download your copy today).
