5. Maxwell's Ride

5. Maxwell's Ride - Peter Maxwell is about to die . . . That’s his view anyway as he plunges down a white-knuckled water ride at the local theme park with his nieces. But screams of delight turn to screams of terror when the ride ends and reveals a more horrifying sight — a man slumped in the watery bottom of his float, his mouth open, his eyes staring. Dead. He’s in the float Maxwell and his nieces were meant to be in. How could a killer murder someone in broad daylight in front of hundreds of people, without anyone seeing a thing? Nothing makes sense. Maxwell didn’t want to be on the ride. But the victim shouldn’t have been there. The police have no leads. They can’t even find the bullet. It’s as if it never happened. For Maxwell, theme parks are a fate worse than death. But if he is to find the killer before the school holidays end he must act quickly. Before the killer strikes again . . . this time closer to home.

7. MAXWELL’S REUNION

7. MAXWELL’S REUNION - Meet Peter Maxwell: widower, film buff, golden-hearted cynic, bow-tied eccentric teacher . . . and reluctant amateur sleuth. Peter Maxwell receives an invitation to his school reunion. His old chums will be there . . . So will a killer. Maxwell arrives expecting reminiscing and jovial japes with the ‘Old Boys’ of Halliards school. Instead, he finds the years have taken their toll on his friends and, under the surface of jollity, is a simmering tension. An unspoken edge to the evening that Maxwell can’t put his finger on. Then the most popular ‘Old Boy’, George Quentin, is discovered hanging from the school bell rope. This was murder. ‘Quent’ had been struck from behind. And when another of the friendship group is murdered, it’s clear someone is picking them off one by one. But why? Now it’s not just old school songs that bind these men. They are targets of a killer. Maxwell must uncover the secret that has been lurking in the school corridors for all these years. . . Before he becomes the next victim.

16. MAXWELL’S ISLAND

16. MAXWELL’S ISLAND - Peter Maxwell should be retired. Instead he’s been roped into supervising one last school trip to the Isle of Wight. At least he’s staying in a charming seafront hotel, and the staff are allowed a plus one. Art teacher, Tom Medlicott, brings his glamorous wife, Izzy, who turns more than a few heads on the first night. But the very next morning she’s vanished without a trace. The police tell Tom not to worry — she’ll turn up. But things take a sinister turn when Izzy’s first husband is found dead. Then Tom is discovered in a heap at the bottom of a staircase. Both men had their necks broken. One dead husband’s a tragedy. But two’s a coincidence too far. A murderer is hiding in plain sight and Maxwell must use his skills once again to find out who . . .

19. MAXWELL’S ACADEMY

19. MAXWELL’S ACADEMY - Meet Peter Maxwell: film buff, golden-hearted cynic, bow-tied eccentric teacher . . . and reluctant amateur sleuth. When Fiona Braymarr, the no-nonsense new head of Leighford High, starts swinging the axe on staff jobs, Maxwell decides to dig into her shadowy past. To his shock, he finds she doesn’t seem to have one. Then two local women meet grisly ends — one plunging from a balcony, the other stabbed at the foot of her stairs. Maxwell takes the murders personally when he discovers both victims’ children are students at his beloved school. With danger closing in and his own life on the line, Maxwell must untangle the web of lies and secrets to catch a killer — and save the school he loves.

20. MAXWELL’S SUMMER

20. MAXWELL’S SUMMER - Peter Maxwell’s quiet summer break at historic Haledown House takes a sinister turn when it becomes the scene of grisly murder. Snooty aristocrat Colonel Roddy Hale-ffinch is found draped in a velvet smoking jacket, soaked in blood. His throat has been slashed, and the scene grotesquely staged to look like an animal attack. Before Maxwell can make sense of the crime, another guest is found dead, having swallowed a lethal dose of rat poison. As the body count rises Maxwell realises that the killer will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried. Can he uncover the truth before summer’s end — or will he become the next victim?
