Author M R Hall

For the sleuths amongst you, award-winning crime writer, Matthew R. Hall will definitely appeal. He’s written episodes of Kavanagh QC, Dalziel and Pasco, A&E, Foyle’s War and the legal series, Wing and a Prayer, amongst others, before writing the acclaimed Coroner books.

In The Case of the Crusading Coroner, Matthew’s coroner, Jenny Cooper, is on the case even when it threatens her own life. “Prepare to be gripped!”
