“Simon Ackers has created a credible Victorian detective worthy enough to be placed on the bookshelf alongside the works of Arthur Conan Doyle. A literary, superbly crafted book!”—Tom Slemen
Mr Blessington’s Secret is the debut novel of Liverpool author Simon Ackers. Set in Victorian England, the novel follows the writer and amateur detective James Gregory on his adventures in the seemingly quiet town of Halpton.
Embarking on a peaceful stroll in the country, James Gregory stumbles on a mystery which shakes the town to its very foundations when he meets a young woman fleeing a wealthy and respected local landowner.
Follow James Gregory as he works against the popular opinion in the town to clear a young lady’s name and reveals the sordid goings-on at the seemingly respectable Blessington House in Mr Blessington’s Secret, the first of the James Gregory Mysteries.
