Murder Undeniable- Anita Waller- Crime
Leon is married to Katerina who is Deacon of the church in Eyam, Derbyshire.
Leon runs a chain of pharmacies. His other business is far from legit and his wife
would be horrified to know anything about it and what he and some of his
colleagues get up to. The book begins by taking us back to an event several years
before- enough to know that something is amiss but not quite what. Beth is a
student who supplements her income by being an escort. One night she escorts
a businessman, Anthony, to a dinner. Something she has done with different
men time and again in this role. Dessert proves to be rather more than she ever
anticipated and she is lucky to escape with her life. She becomes friends with Kat
and they try and work out why she and Anthony were targeted and to keep Beth
protected as she is now at risk. Oh boy! Anita has done it again. Within a few
pages I was gripped and the plot was only just beginning to unfold. There is a
certain “Je ne sais quoi” about Anita’s style of writing that not only endears you
to some of the characters but that “anxious” edge so you “need” to know more.
I can’t say how much I enjoyed this. I loved the two main characters and Doris.
Doris is a star. Oh to have a Doris in your life! I am secretly hoping that this will
be become a series ((I have now seen this will be a trilogy)) as would love more
of the trio and their antics.
Anita thank you. For taking me to another place, for entertaining me and for
making me smile along the way. all done with 26 letters of the alphabet.
Sheer joy.

Book Blurb:
She began writing when she was around 8 years of age, writing 'compositions' at junior school that became books with chapters.
In 1995 she sent Beautiful to a publisher and as they reached the contract stage the publisher went into liquidation. As a result, the book was consigned to the attic in dejected disgust but in 2013 it was dragged out again for an enforced complete re-type. The original was written on an Amstrad 8256 and the only thing that remained was one hard copy.
Anita is not a typist and it was painfully reworked over two years, submitted to Bloodhound Books who, within three days of reading it, offered her a contract. 31 August 2015 saw its release into the wide world.
Following the outstanding success of Beautiful, she began a sequel on 27 December 2015, finishing it on 19 March 2016. The new novel, Angel, was launched on 7 May 2016.
34 Days followed, with its launch in October 2016. This was a huge success, particularly in the United States. While this, her third book in the psychological thriller genre, was flying out in all directions, she began work on her fourth book.
In her life away from the computer in the corner of her kitchen, she is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter with blue blood in her veins! The club was particularly helpful during the writing of 34 Days, as a couple of matches feature in the novel, along with Ross Wallace. Information was needed, and they provided it.
Her genre is murder - necessary murder.
Book Blurb:
Katerina Rowe, a Deacon at the church in the sleepy village of Eyam, has a fulfilled life. She is happily married to Leon and her work is rewarding.
But everything changes when she discovers the body of a man and a badly beaten woman, Beth, in the alleyway behind her husband’s pharmacy.
Drawn to the young woman she saved, Kat finds herself embroiled in a baffling mystery.
When Beth’s house is set on fire, Kat offers the young woman sanctuary in her home and soon the pair begin investigating the murder, with some help from Beth’s feisty grandmother, Doris. But neither the police, nor Leon, nor the criminals want Kat and Beth looking into their affairs and the sleuths quickly find themselves out of their depth…
Can Kat and Beth solve the mystery and walk away unscathed?

Winterscroft was a change in genre. It is a supernatural tale, set in Castleton, Derbyshire, and its release date was February 2017.
While she was writing Winterscroft, it became very clear from reading reviews that a sequel to 34 days was needed, and she began work on that. Bloodhound Books launched Strategy, on 10 August 2017.
Her next book, launched February 2018 and entitled Captor, is a psychological thriller, set exclusively in Sheffield. It was an instant success, both in the UK and the US.
Then along came Game Players… once more set in Sheffield, the story involves a group of six children who have each other’s backs to a remarkable extent. The darker, criminal side of Sheffield is explored, with the book launching 18 May 2018.
Malignant arrived in the world on 10 October 2018, her eighth book in three years.
And now Anita is working on her first series, the Kat and Mouse trilogy, set in the beautiful Derbyshire village of Eyam. The first in the series, Murder Undeniable, launches 10 December 2018.
