 WHAT THE AWARD ORGANISERS SAID ABOUT A MERSEY MAIDEN 

WHAT THE AWARD ORGANISERS SAID ABOUT A MERSEY MAIDEN

Delighted at A Mersey Maiden winning the 'Best Book We've Read all Year' by  Readfree.ly, I thought I'd share what the award organisers said about the book. First, the partial contents of a really nice email I received today from the chief organiser.
Hi Brian,
Congratulations on A Mersey Maiden winning. It's a really wonderful book with a depth that constantly blew me away. I almost felt schizophrenic while reading it - as if one part of me was marvelling at the level of detail in the book, while a completely separate me was simply enjoying a cracking story.

And here is the organisr's review of the book.
Our Review
Brian L Porter’s A Mersey Maiden starts small – a charismatic American student dies in his sleep in Liverpool, England – but it doesn’t stay small for long: soon our main character, Detective Andy Ross and his team are investigating a murder that involves the CIA, a vanished German U-Boat, Nazi gold, and wartime technology that could change the whole world.

Brian Porter is a master of his genre; take your eyes off the plot for a moment (if you can!) and you’ll marvel at the mechanics of his storytelling, the depth of detail, the easy characterisation.

A Mersey Maiden is part of Porter’s Mersey Mysteries series, and his affection for his main characters is apparent. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, we came to love them too.

A MERSEY MAIDEN
A peaceful cricket match on a warm summer’s day turns to murder and mystery, as the star player Aaron Decker lies dead in his bed, his girlfriend sleeping soundly beside him.

The case takes on a new twist with links to the disappearance of a German U-Boat and a British warship in 1945. With the mysterious Aegis Institute hovering in the background of the investigation, D.I Andy Ross and his team find themselves in their most complex case to date.

With events in Britain, Germany, the U.S.A and a secret submarine base in Canada all involved, Ross and his team need to work together with international law enforcement agencies and a respected German historian to not only solve the murder of Aaron Decker, but the strange case of U3000’s last voyage.

A MERSEY MARINER
Best Crime thriller and top 20 finisher in the Top 50 Best Indie Book of 2017 Awards.
5th place winner in Best Mystery Novel category, The Preditors & Editors Readers Poll Awards 2017
DEATH ARRIVES ON THE MORNING TIDE.

The aging cargo liner Alexandra Rose steams into the Mersey Estuary, enveloped in thick fog that delays her entry into the port of Liverpool. When one of the ship's passengers is found dead in his cabin, a chain of events is set in motion that leads to one of Detective Inspector Andy Ross's most baffling and complicated cases to date.

The first death is soon followed by another, and Ross discovers that his case has its roots in the depths of the Amazonian Rainforest in Brazil. A billionaire entrepreneur, passengers who may not be exactly who or what they say they are, a team of medical researchers and a team of vicious mercenaries combine to confound and complicate what begins as a simple death aboard a nondescript and insignificant ship.

Ross and his team from the Merseyside Police Specialist Murder Investigation team need all their skills in order to solve the case of the 'Mersey Mariner.'
A Mersey Mariner is a standalone novel, and can be enjoyed even if you haven't read other books in the series.

COMING SOON - A VERY MERSEY MURDER

COMING SOON - A VERY MERSEY MURDER
Fans of the Mersey Mystery Series might be interested to know that the fifth book in the series, A VERY MERSEY MURDER has now been completed and is now in the editing and proofreading stages and Detective Inspector Andy Ross, Detective Sergeant Izzie Drake and Liverpool's Specialist Murder investigation Team will soon be making their latest appearance. Watch this space for further details...

A VERY MERSEY MURDER

1966, England win football’s World Cup at Wembley Stadium. That night, the body of a pretty young woman, raped and strangled to death, is discovered beside a lonely country lane near the abandoned lighthouse at Hale, near Liverpool. Her murder, along with two which follow it, remain unsolved.
2005, 39 years later, Detective Inspector Andy Ross and his team are called in when a disturbingly similar series of murders begins in the same location. If the current murderer follows the original killer’s timetable, Ross has just one week to solve the murders before a third victim, a police woman no less, completes his gruesome recreation of the original ‘Lighthouse Murders.'

A Very Mersey Murder sees D.I. Ross, Sergeant Izzie Drake and the team return once again, this time in a tense, at times fraught, race against time as they seek to identify and apprehend a vicious killer who seems to leave no clues and no evidence. The price of failure, is death.
