Tying the Noose

At school, the author was mostly disinterested in every subject except creative writing, for which, at age ten, he won his first award. However, calling it his first award suggests that there have been more, which there have not. Accolades may come but, in the meantime, he is having a ball writing mystery stories and crime thrillers and claims to have more than a hundred books forming an unruly queue in his head as they clamour to get out. He lives in the south-east corner of England with a duo of lazy sausage dogs. Surrounded by rolling hills, brooding castles, and vineyards, he doubts he will ever leave, the beer is just too good.

"A bit on the lines of one of Agatha Christie' plots. Though with the twist of animals and humour an enjoyable read."; "Exciting story line with unusual characters who all work together to solve the mystery murders. Who could it be? We are kept guessing until the end."; "Steve Higgs does it again! Bringing a blend of humour, mystery and suspense and including the hilarious antics of a bulldog and a ragdoll cat. This book is the second in one of five series Steve is writing. Where the ideas come from and how he gets them all done so quickly without repeating the problems, is a mystery in itself. Definitely my favourite author (so good I am re-reading them all) and absolutely recommend this author to anyone. Just brilliant."
