Left Luggage (The Mike Malone Mysteries, #19) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Ottoman Empire suffered weakness and weakness, which made it similar to the elderly patient who awaits his inevitable fate. The voices of demanding change began to accelerate, while some were calm and balanced, promoting the reform of the current regime, while others were extremist, calling for a comprehensive revolution and liberation from all restrictions and traditions. With the disappearance of the dilapidated caliphate, attention was directed towards modern Turkey and its progress towards the Renaissance. Some thinkers, such as the author of this book, believe that the only way to reform the countries of the East lies in embodying the Turkish experience in all its privacy. Some intense ideas appeared to prejudice heritage and traditions, and despite the rush and rush in some cases, they carried merits, and left the final judgment of the reader.

As you may have already guessed, Milly Reynolds is not my real name. Like my 'hero' Detective Inspector Mike Malone, I also hide my real identity.

Having 'retired' from my job, I was a full-time teacher in a secondary school, I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a writer.

So why Mike Malone? I love all things detective and wanted to create my own series. However, I decided not to go for the deep, dark thriller - I could never compete with the masters of that genre, like Jo Nesbo whose books I adore? Therefore I came to the decision that the Mike Malone series would be off-beat. I like to think that there is humour in my books; I don't want to scare people, I want to make them chuckle - there is not enough laughter in the world at the moment. As the series has progressed, I have become very attached to Mike; he is the comfortable pair of slippers that I put on at night. My husband has also become attached to Fi and I am under strict instructions not to let anything happen to her - yet.

Living in Lincolnshire, I love the flat, endless landscapes and want these to be seen in my books alongside places that I know and love. Mike Malone has moved from the city to Lincolnshire and has fallen in love with the place; me, I was born here and can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be.

However, although Mike was my first creation, he is not the only one. I have also created Jack Sallt, another Detective Inspector. Jack is grittier than Mike and there is not the humour in his stories that there is in the Mike Malone stories. I wanted to write a more 'grown-up' detective story. When time allows this will be developed into a series as well.

With two male detectives under my wing, I also decided that it was time for the girls to take centre stage and 'Scorpion's Tale', my first novel featuring Liv Harris, a character in the Jack Sallt novels, was published in 2013. I am hoping that Liv will make another appearance at some point in the future.

Not content with crime, I have also wandered into the realms of romance; my first stand-alone novel 'The Unseen Sky' was published August 2011.

I'm lucky, I enjoy writing and find it just as relaxing to sit and create as it is to read, although sometimes a good book can get in the way of my writing. I read on average 50/60 books a year and always keep my blog updated with reviews. Anyway, I hope you like my novels. I have fun coming up with ideas for Mike -...
