John Eaton is a British author, lyricist and creator whose work spans comicfiction, poetry, children’s storytelling and musical satire. Across books,songs and stage-ready narratives, his defining strength is the same: a sharpobservational eye paired with warmth, wit and an instinct for story.Murder at Cranborne Abbey is Eaton’s firstfull-length novel. Drawing on the classic British tradition of comic crime—fromWodehouse to Sharpe—Eaton combines tightly plotted mystery with farce,character-driven comedy and an affectionate skewering of institutions and humanfoibles. The result is crime fiction that entertains as much through voice andcharacter as through plot.

Recensioner i media

“This is a gloriously unruly crime caper based aroundDevon and Exeter which added greatly to my enjoyment! As a former, local policeofficer, I expected the usual tidy trail of clues and respectable procedure.But it’s not a manual for policing (thankfully); it is a thoroughlyentertaining mystery with bite, pace, and enough dark undertow to keep youturning pages long after you’ve stopped laughing.  The ‘investigators’ are two well-meaningliabilities with questionable judgement and superb comic timing. The storyricochets from pub banter to genuine menace with surprising skill, mixingfarce, eerie atmosphere, and a sharp nose for the way real trouble oftenarrives - sideways, through money, influence, and people doing the wrong thingfor understandable reasons. Chipp and Pinn will definitely be back.” Jeff Merrett MBE, ex Detective Constable, Devon and CornwallConstabulary, and Founder and Chairman/Trustee of the Devon charity‘Dream-A-Way’.
