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.
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 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.
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.
