I absolutely love Andrew Barrett's writing he is me new favourite author. Only one problem I can't always find his books. I can't afford to buy books so get many of them from my library and his books either have a huge waiting list or they don't have them at all.

Thank you, Anne. I'm sorry to hear you're having problems finding the books. Which are struggling to get? Please contact me via email.
One of the good guys
Andrew Barrett's procedurals should be universally acknowledged as the British equivalent of classic American police novels. They are sardonic, stylish, analytical, and will keep you up all night if you give in to one of his stories. Share with your friends OR a work competitor, one at a time, to erode the next morning's performance. Barrett's work deserves far more publicity than it gets.
His release emails never bring or include spam.

Books that keep you hooked from start to finish
Andrew Barett is a great author. The Eddie Collins series is superb & always has me gripped. Andrew has a fantastic style of writing, going from a very sombre scene to humour in a split second and it works well. I thoroughly enjoy his work and look forward to reading more of his books.
